Recognised as a true 'deal-maker', Jean-François Findling 'demonstrates creativity and initiative at all times' for clients on strategic M&A and private equity-backed deals, including as these relate to work in the infrastructure and financial services sectors. The 'pragmatic and solutions-oriented' Elodie Duchêne co-heads the team alongside Findling and alongside her conventional M&A offering also provides corporate solutions and structuring for high-net-worth individuals.
