The work we take on.
Six areas, all of them cross-border by nature. We do not take everything. We take what we can own from beginning to end.
Corporate & Commercial
Structures that survive their first year, and the third. We build the company, the contract set and the relationship between shareholders at the same time, because most problems that surface later were decided at incorporation.
Typical matters
- Company formation and group structure in France and Southeast Asia
- Shareholder agreements, founder arrangements and vesting
- Joint ventures, distribution and reseller agreements
- Commercial contracts, terms of sale and supplier agreements
- Share transfers, restructuring and exits
Regulatory & Compliance
Regulation rarely announces itself. We map what applies to your activity, then build the smallest set of documents and controls that keeps you defensible.
Typical matters
- GDPR, NIS2 and AI Act readiness
- Sector licensing and operating permits
- Regulatory filings, renewals and annual reporting
- Compliance programmes, registers and internal policies
- Responding to inspections and requests for information
Cross-border Mobility
Mobility is where business plans meet administrative reality. We sequence the filings so that the person can start when the company needs them, not three months later.
Typical matters
- Work and residence permits across the five Asian markets
- Intra-company transfers and dependants
- Long-stay and retirement routes
- Renewals, annual reporting and status changes
- Document legalisation and translations
IP, Technology & Data
Technology agreements fail on the details: ownership, escrow, termination, data. We draft for the day the relationship ends, not only for the day it starts.
Typical matters
- Trademark filings and portfolio management
- Software, SaaS and licensing agreements
- Data processing agreements and international transfers
- AI use policies and vendor review
- Technology transactions and source-code arrangements
Real Assets & Hospitality
We work on the operating side of property: the lease, the licence, the operator agreement and the tax treatment that decide whether an asset performs.
Typical matters
- Short-let regulation and change of use
- Lease structuring and operator agreements
- Property income and tourist-tax obligations
- Atypical assets: boats, vehicles and mixed-use property
- Acquisition and disposal support
Dispute Support
Most disputes are decided by what was documented before anyone thought about a dispute. When proceedings are unavoidable, local counsel appears; we keep the strategy and the file.
Typical matters
- Pre-action strategy and correspondence
- Evidence collection and preservation
- Mediation and settlement negotiation
- Coordinating local counsel where proceedings are required
- Enforcement and recovery follow-up
How we work with local counsel
Outside France, filings, appearances and notarial acts are performed by counsel admitted in that jurisdiction. We select them, brief them and remain accountable for the file. You receive one invoice and one point of contact.
