Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats Akilys

Since its creation in 2019, the firm has been committed to making law a strategic asset for companies and their executives. In May 2025, Akilys became Grant Thornton Société d'Avocats Akilys following a merger that reinforced Grant Thornton's multidisciplinary model by strengthening its expertise in legal, tax and social matters.

Based in Lyon and Valence, Grant Thornton Société d'Avocats Akilys has established itself over the years as a leading firm in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Its positioning combines in-depth knowledge of the local economic fabric with national expertise. The eight partners and their teams have supported numerous regional SMEs and mid-cap companies in their external growth projects, drawing on cross-functional expertise and taking into account all of their clients' operational, economic, legal and tax issues.

With 18 partners now united under the Grant Thornton France legal banner, the synergies cover a wide range of areas of expertise (M&A, tax law, private equity, employment law, commercial law, IP, etc.), opening up new opportunities for SMEs and mid-cap companies.
