Practice led by Franck-Alexis Pierret
Corporate and share transactions
We execute corporate acts as notarial deeds where the security of the transaction warrants it, and support business transfer transactions.
What we do
- Transfers of shares and of businesses (fonds de commerce), unilateral and bilateral preliminary agreements.
- Contributions in kind and contributions of shares, mergers, demergers, partial contributions of assets.
- Capital increases and reductions, transactions in securities.
- Shareholders’ agreements and collective undertakings executed as notarial deeds.
- Warranties and indemnities and the security backing them.
- Structuring of ownership: holding companies, civil companies (sociétés civiles), split of bare ownership and usufruct.
- Business transfers and Dutreil undertakings.
What the notarial form brings
- Certain date and safekeeping, with no risk of losing the instrument.
- Enhanced evidential weight of the notaire’s findings.
- Enforceability of payment undertakings (French Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures, art. L. 111-3, 4°), useful for deferred consideration or an earn-out clause.
- Systematic verification of the signatories’ capacity and authority.
