Capital markets

The Capital market team advises French listed companies on all the specific legal issues they may face: IPOs, capital markets transactions (public offerings, securities issuances, private placements, etc.), corporate legal services, as well as capital markets litigation (AMF proceedings).

Recognizing that most listed companies in France are SMEs with specific business concerns, our working methods are proactive and geared towards establishing long-term working relationships with our clients in order to support their needs as effectively as possible in highly technical legal issues.

The Capital markets team works closely with the firm's M&A and Private Equity teams, which enables them to understand the specific capital markets law issues involved in such transactions and provide a comprehensive approach to fully meet our clients' needs.

Alerion is a founding member of the Association of Stock market Lawyers.
