Every mandate is entrusted to a partner, who follows it from the first call to the final signature. You are never handed over to a stranger.
IMergers, acquisitions and shareholder agreements
Sale or purchase of a business, due diligence, unanimous agreements, reorganizations and intergenerational transfers. We negotiate as if the company were our own.

No. III — The House
A house,
not a file factory.
Founded in 1987 by Laurent Delorme, the House has deliberately stayed small. Twenty-two lawyers, two founding partners, a limited number of new mandates each quarter. That is what allows us to answer the phone ourselves.
Our clients are families, entrepreneurs and founders. Many have entrusted us with the sale of their company, then their parents' estate, then their children's marriage contract.

“They turned my file down the first time. I understood why when I read their proposal.”
