Legal accompaniment of transactions

For all your operations, a complete audit is conducted to analyse the risks/opportunities of your investment and to implement a coherent strategy with you to establish your objectives, your ambitions, and those of the targeted company. Then, depending on the mode of investment, LAMY LEXEL accompanies you in the negotiations and in the legal aspect of your operations, particularly the drafting of the letter of intent, the protocol of investment and guaranties concerning assets and liabilities.

Our teams are also highly respected for their expertise in the development of the means of financial structuring (OC, WARRANTS), package management, and in the drafting of pacts between associates.

Finally, we help you in the negotiation, the reference, and the formalization of agreements with banks.

ContraCts, COMPetition, IP

Audits and advice on the possible evolution of your contracts

The audit carried out by our team allows you to have a global vision of the contractual situation of the targeted company/project, to anticipate the risks that may arise (outsourcing, trade, intellectual property clauses, website etc.), and develop the existing contracts (customers and suppliers) of the target.

TAX LAW

Fiscal optimisation of your operations

Supported by the corporate team, our taxation law department participates in the structuring of operations prior to optimizing the acquisition and to anticipate the later stages of development.

LABOUR LAW

Carrying out the audit

In order to clarify the applicable bylaws, existing employment contracts, the conditions of remuneration, terms of working hours, benefits, contentious situations etc, it is essential to carry out a complete audit.

Our labour law team accompanies you in this essential stage and advises you on the best adapted social organization and the necessary adjustments to achieve it (changes to contracts, harmonization of social status, termination of the additional guarantees of social protection etc).

BUSINESS LITIGATION AND RESTRUCTURING

Analysis of litigation and assistance in the development of  take-over bids in the courts

Are you planning to buy a business? Or a customer base ? Through our audit, you will have an inventory of past and ongoing litigations, which will allow you to complete the negotiations.

If you were to invest in a company experiencing difficulties covered by a plan of assignment, you will need to take part in the take-over offer. Our restructuring team is able to assist you in the development, negotiation and defence of this offer in court. Following the acceptance, we will carry out, in connection with the corporate team, the post-investment legal acts.

Finally, our team of lawyers assists you in any litigation that may arise after the operation: putting into question the active-passive guarantee, challenging the offer price, breakdown of investment discussions, conflicts between shareholders etc.
