Corporate / Mergers & Acquisitions

Structuring, negotiating and securing your external growth and business transfer transactions.

Our approach

COTEG Avocats has recognised expertise in capital-market transactions: acquisitions, disposals, mergers, partial business contributions, LBOs, MBOs, MBIs and private equity transactions. Our firm advises businesses, their leaders and investors in structuring and completing these strategic operations.

Each transaction is given bespoke support, from the preparatory phase (acquisition audits, legal and tax due diligence) through to the execution of final documentation (share purchase agreements, representations and warranties, post-acquisition shareholders' agreements), and the negotiation with all stakeholders.

Through our membership of the Alta-Juris network — comprising over 130 firms in France and internationally — we are able to support our clients in cross-border transactions and call on complementary expertise across the country.

This practice has been recognised by the Palmarès du Droit, which awarded our firm Gold in corporate law, mergers & acquisitions and private equity. It is the result of a constant commitment to the success of our clients' projects.
