Client Testimonials
CLIENT: Jean-SĆ©bastien DEGOUVE, Chairman
COMPANY/FIRM: OpƩra Energie
TESTIMONIAL: I knew that DELSOL Avocats was well grounded in the energy sector, as I had called on the firmās services during my time with the Suez Group (Engie). Therefore it was only natural for us to turn to Emmanuel KAEPPELIN for our M&A needs.
CLIENT: Kal LADHA, CEO
COMPANY/FIRM: MediaSchool Group
TESTIMONIAL: Because of the dual nature of our activity, we often come up against issues of employment law (permanent employees, occasional lecturers, journalists etc.), real estate law (the need for our school premises to comply with public access building (ERP) standards), tax law (particularly as regards VAT exemptions for training) and company law (company creations, M&A, transformations). We are highly satisfied with the advice we have received from DELSOL Avocats over a number of years, and particularly that of Henri-Louis DELSOL, SĆ©verine BRAVARD and Vincent GUEVENOUX. In the course of successive acquisitions, the pertinence of the firmās counsel within often tight timescales and its ability to identify with the position of the business client have proved invaluable throughout such operations, across the whole spectrum of the issues we face.
CLIENT: Nicolas POTEL, General Counsel, France & West Mediterranean Region
COMPANY/FIRM: 3M Group
TESTIMONIAL: We have worked with DELSOL Avocats for a number of years, and more specifically with StƩphane PERRIN, who has been familiar with our business, its products and its legal issues for close on 30 years. We have built up a bespoke working relationship with him that combines responsiveness and competence, and this support and advice is essential in both Group litigation in France and in complex contractual issues.
CLIENT: Sophie DOSTERT, General Manager
COMPANY/FIRM: HoĢpital EuropeĢen and HoĢpital Saint Joseph de Marseille
TESTIMONIAL: Our recent experience comprehensively confirms the considerable skills of Xavier DELSOL and his teams, who swiftly helped to set up the legal framework for the merger process by reviewing the various possible scenarios.
