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.
