My Expertise
Corporate Law
The backbone of any company. Incorporation, governance, shareholders' agreements, annual meetings, disputes between shareholders — I cover the full legal lifecycle of your business. Not as a vendor you call in an emergency, but as a partner who knows your situation.
Key areas: company formation · governance · board decisions & minutes · shareholder disputes · restructuring
Mergers & Acquisitions
Buyer or seller, small-cap or mid-cap — an acquisition is a marathon. I guide you from the letter of intent to closing, and beyond. My goal isn't to draft documents: it's to get your deal done under the best conditions, with no nasty surprises post-closing.
Key areas: structuring · due diligence · SPA/SHA negotiation · conditions precedent · representations & warranties
Financing & Capital
Raising capital is good. Raising it with the right instruments and the right protections is better. Whether you're approaching your first Business Angels, structuring a fundraising round, or looking to access certain public financing, I help you choose and negotiate what makes sense for your situation — without overcomplicating it.
Key instruments: BSA AIR · preferred shares · convertible bonds · public offerings · crowdfunding
Governance & Shareholders' Agreements
How power is shared inside a company determines everything — who decides, under what conditions, and what happens when things get complicated. I draft and negotiate shareholders' agreements that protect everyone's interests, and that hold up when put to the test.
Key clauses: pre-emption · tag-along · drag-along · anti-dilution · good leaver / bad leaver · veto rights
Contract Review & Drafting
A poorly drafted or misunderstood contract can be very costly. I comb through your contracts, flag the traps, and explain what really matters — in plain language. Because you should understand what you're signing before you sign it.
Key documents: commercial agreements · distribution & licensing · NDAs · service agreements · partnership agreements

Experience that Speaks
"My role isn't to give you a legal opinion you won't understand. It's to give you the tools to decide for yourself — with full clarity."
Business lawyer, dual-qualified at the Paris and New York Bars, I built my expertise on M&A, Private Equity and French-American cross-border transactions within leading international law firms.
Today, I also practice independently to offer my clients what large firms can't always deliver: genuine availability, a direct approach, and a relationship built over time. I don't juggle 40 files at once — I know your situation, your stakes, and I step in at the right moment.
