- turnaround capital transactions.
Thanks to our collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to the law, our team is regularly involved in:
- acquisition and/or disposal audits;
- legal and tax engineering for investment and fund-raising packages;
- drafting and negotiating contractual documentation;
- setting up profit-sharing schemes, in particular management packages, for managers, key executives and employees in general;
