International
In a French economic context weakened by political instability, complex regulation and uncertain growth prospects, investors and entrepreneurs need to rethink their strategy. In France, mounting tax and regulatory pressure is leading many players to consider alternative solutions to preserve and grow their assets. In this context, looking internationally appears to be an alternative, if not a necessity. Diversifying investments, securing assets and taking advantage of the dynamism of certain markets are all levers for meeting the challenges posed by our economic environment.
STRUCTURING, SECURING AND MANAGING YOUR PROJECTS ABROAD
Internationalising a business or a family’s assets cannot be improvised. Expatriation, setting up a subsidiary, an operational presence, holding assets or wealth structuring: each project requires French law and local law to be carefully reconciled.
Our role is to secure that interaction.
We act as strategic advisers to executives, entrepreneurs and investors wishing to develop a presence abroad while keeping control of their tax, legal and wealth issues in France.
Our added value rests on dual expertise:
-
Command of French law (tax, corporate, private wealth)
-
A network of trusted local partners in the jurisdictions where we operate
We coordinate all the parties involved in order to give our clients a comprehensive, consistent and secure view of their project.
