About

Provided by BDGS Associés

Our FDI team regularly assists French and international companies with foreign investment control procedures, both in France and around the world.

In a global environment marked by significantly tighter investment control regimes, we draw on our recognized expertise to identify regulatory risks upstream, secure the necessary authorizations and, where applicable, negotiate the conditions for approval and associated commitments with the relevant French and foreign authorities.

Our team, which notably includes Antoine Gosset-Grainville, Thomas Méli, François Gordon and Florian Bosser, combines cutting-edge regulatory and corporate expertise, in-depth knowledge of French government decision-making mechanisms, and proven experience in handling complex and sensitive cases.

We also draw on an international network of leading partner firms, enabling us to effectively conduct control procedures in multi-jurisdictional cross-border transactions.
