Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate
Jeantet was established in 1924. The firm prides itself on being one of the longest established independent law firms still active in the market. Through its collaboration with other firms, the firm has expanded its presence across Africa, Asia and Europe. The Paris-based team has many reputable legal professionals including nine highly regarded lawyers. The firm is particularly active in banking, debt and equity capital markets, M&A, private equity, and restructuring and insolvency.   

Key clients  

Argos Wityu, Elkem, EURENCO, HES International and LBO France.
   
Highlights 

The firm has advised LBO France on a series of private equity transactions, including advising the client on the sale of Eurotab to McBride and the sale of Prenax to Triton Partners.

Another notable example of the firm's transaction is the advice provided to EURENCO on the acquisition of a significant stake in a Slovak company from ZVS Holding.

Testimonials  

“Jeantet demonstrated competence and experience in the financial institution sector, and specifically with respect to a very complex area of the law, that is, local perfection requirements in the context of sophisticated financial contracts between international banks, broker dealers, and institutional customers. The majority of the law firms lack this expertise, so this is what made Jeantet stood out.” – Financial services regulatory

“Available, experienced, efficient, smart, solution oriented, and deal-maker.” – M&A

"Excellent legal, regulatory and industry knowledge and experience, very practical, and very responsive." - Project development

“Jean-Francois Adelle is very thoughtful, responsive and precise in his advice. Highly competent in the field of financial contracts, their enforceability, and insolvency risks relating to financial contracts". - Financial services regulatory

“Ruben Koslar has an excellent legal, regulatory and industry knowledge and experience. Ruben is very practical and responsive.” – Project development

"Karl Hepp de Sevelinges has an excellent legal, regulatory and industry knowledge and experience. Karl is very practical and responsive.” - M&A
