Testimonials

‘A team oriented towards “deal-making”. Employees very committed to customer service, with excellent responsiveness.’

‘Very efficient, responsive and well-coordinated team.’

‘François Gine: efficient, concise, deal maker, very responsive. Explains clearly and simply. Reassured on the critical points. Finds solutions.’

‘Pïotraut Giné Avocats was solicited within the framework of a merger/backing operation via a relationship with an investment bank. Two people have been dedicated to our operation, including Mr Giné, a partner, which is a sign of strong commitment.’

‘We appreciated the initial presentation of the methodology that will be used and the related costs. This first exchange was very constructive from the start, not being limited to a “simple” exchange of respectful introductions. This was decisive in the choice of the firm.’

‘The partners are efficient, listen to you, are precise, avoid possible dispersions and make summaries which make it possible to ensure that the main difficulties are dealt with and well dealt with. They really work on your file and if they don’t write themselves, proofread the documents in detail and make sure that the additions and modifications are complete, relevant and well written.’

‘The team is young, friendly and involved. They know how to take into account the particular requirements of responsiveness, rigor and combativeness necessary for LBOs, with the tact to avoid becoming a deal breaker. We consider them among the very first on these subjects. Especially since their rates are adjusted and fixed.’

‘Raphaël Piotraut and Suzanne de Carvalho particularly won us over.’
