Sales & acquisitions lawyers

Investments are now increasingly complex, given the sophistication of the sector and the variety of disciplines involved, and subject to a constantly changing legislative and regulatory framework (including the Alur law, the Pinel law, the Macron law, the law on energy transition for green growth and reform of contract law). They are also undergoing profound changes due to the effects of energy efficiency and smart connectivity imperatives, the contours of the building of tomorrow are being reshaped and the entirevalue chain, from a building’s design to its use, will be transformed. Leading-edge support is required, from a legal and tax perspective, to complete these highly sensitive investment projects in this rapidly-changing environment.

Whether you are a French or foreign investor, we are able to advise and assist you at every stage of your project.

Thanks to our specialists in legal and tax (re)structuring and investment funds, we are able to work on all types of investment and sale operations (asset deal/share deal). We can also support you with the acquisition of land, hotels or industrial, commercial, residential or leisure buildings, whether existing or to be built, isolated or grouped assets; when drafting and negotiating the corresponding agreements; when organising calls for tenders, data rooms or due diligence; with the study and implementation of dedicated investment vehicles, including the following fields: formation of partnerships, structuring of cross-border investments, regulated or unregulated investment vehicles (OCPIs, SIICs, etc.). We can also advise on all issues relating to urban planning taxes, VAT, registration duties and tax on real-estate profits.

With considerable experience in the complexities of your environment and familiar with your challenges, our associates will guide you and assist you with pragmatism and efficiency to ensure your projects’ long-term success.
