Since its creation 20 years ago, the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Department of Bignon Lebray & Associés has counseled not only French companies (be they listed on the stock market or not), but also numerous subsidiaries of foreign groups, in the areas of corporate law, stock market law, mergers, acquisitions, and other similar operations.

 Our department is at the heart of our five offices and works in close collaboration with the other departments of the firm (tax, labor, environmental law, etc.) in all sectors of the economy.

 We represent our French and foreign clients, according to their needs, at every stage of negotiations for the purchase or sale of private or public corporations, transfers, partnerships and joint ventures. We also advise and represent clients with respect to public offerings, audits and corporate restructuring, acquisition financing, risk capital and development capital, and the management of corporations facing financial difficulties.

 Our department also handles litigation linked to operations such as the execution of liability guarantees, lawsuits concerning shareholders’ agreements, etc.
