Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘I had the opportunity to work with Henri de Mandiargues and his team on our LBO transaction and I have an excellent impression of them. They are a particularly strong, rigorous and committed team, combining excellent technical expertise with a keen understanding of the strategic and human challenges inherent in this type of transaction.'
  • 'Their main strength lies in their ability to combine legal rigour with operational pragmatism. They anticipate difficulties, propose creative solutions, and move discussions forward constructively, even in complex or tense situations. Compared to other teams in the market, Mr. de Mandiargues' team stands out for its availability, the quality of its internal coordination, and its commitment to partnership. There is a genuine sense of cohesion and a results-oriented culture, without the rigidity sometimes found in firms of comparable size.'
