The Corporate Strategy and Legal Engineering Group advises on three areas of practices, including: 

• Directors, executive committees and shareholders 
• Intra-group transactions 
• Re-organisation of companies and groups

We assist board of directors, executive committees and shareholders in their strategic decisions (such as increase of capital, negotiations with new investors, family transmission…) and for the day-to-day issues (corporate governance, corporate housekeeping, management agreement, liability..) Our approach is practical and pragmatic in relation to our clients’ business.

This Group also have an extensive experience in advising companies for their intra-group transactions such as creation of branches or subsidiaries, transfer of assets and branches of activities, cash pooling, shareholders’ loans, management agreement, corporate aspects of refinancing, stock option plans, issue of securities (such as warrants, options and convertible bonds,…).

At last, we assist shareholders and directors in insolvency or related corporate restructurings (through mergers, splitsing, “Chapter 11” procedures, liquidation…).

Lawyers in the group deal with all these matters through their specific competences in corporate, tax, labor, banking or commercial law. They combine these various skills in order to offer to the client a full range of services together with a coherent approach.
