International legal support
An integrated approach serving businesses and investors
Based in Bordeaux and Porto, our law firms support French, Portuguese and international clients across the full range of their legal, wealth-related and strategic matters.
We advise directly on all aspects of the law applicable in France and Portugal and, where transactions extend beyond these two jurisdictions, coordinate matters with a network of leading local counsel and partners across the Member States of theEuropean Union.
This structure gives our clients centralised management of their interests while ensuring a thorough understanding of the legal particularities of each country involved.
A single point of contact for every project
Because a successful project depends on clear communication and consistent decisions, every client has a dedicated single point of contact.
This lead lawyer manages the matter, coordinates all the professionals required and ensures that its legal, tax, wealth-related and operational aspects fit together effectively.
Whether the matter involves establishing a business, an investment, an acquisition, a restructuring, a property project or strategic litigation, the client benefits from tailored support and a clear understanding of every stage of the project.
A firmly European practice
The challenges businesses face today often span several jurisdictions. Governance, investment, contracts, international mobility, wealth structuring and business succession require a comprehensive, coordinated approach.
Our law firms analyse, structure and monitor these transactions in France and Portugal, while coordinating the work required in other European Union countries to ensure legal certainty and consistency in the decisions taken.
Communication without borders
Our teams are fully bilingual in French and Portuguese and also work in English and Spanish.
Every client is free to use the language in which they feel most comfortable. This ability to work in several languages promotes a precise understanding of the issues, smooth communication and the effective execution of international transactions.
