THE EXPERTISE OF THE HÉRÈS FIRM

We offer high-end expertise in tax consulting and litigation to address the complex issues faced by French and international clients. The firm assists entrepreneurs and private investors as well as family offices, small and medium-sized businesses, and large French groups with their investment projects in France and abroad.

Our attorneys know how to analyze the issues involved in each transaction as a whole and respond to client requests in a timely manner by providing practical solutions.

We advise our clients on transactional taxation, real estate taxation, corporate taxation, wealth taxation, and international mobility (expatriation and impatriation).

Our tax team works closely with other attorneys in the firm to provide our clients with the most comprehensive and relevant advice and recommendations.

We also assist our clients with tax audits and tax disputes. The firm's experience in this area allows us to provide recognized added value in developing our clients' defense strategies.

Our team of experts in international property law advises executives and family groups on the organization and transfer of their assets and the optimization of their investments.

The team provides tailored advice on structuring acquisitions and transfers of assets, movable or immovable, in a national or international context, in relation to inheritance and gifts.

The firm's attorneys assist clients in tax audit proceedings and administrative and judicial litigation in the area of direct and indirect taxation.

We offer a full range of legal and tax services to protect the assets of high-end international private clients, either directly or through advice to private banks and family offices.

We are at your side to carry out your corporate law transactions, from the simplest to the most complex: legal secretarial services, approval of accounts, incorporation of companies, capital increases and reductions, contributions in kind, issuance of complex securities, acquisitions, mergers, and spin-offs.

Our team assists you at every stage of your acquisition or disposal projects: structuring the transaction, drafting or reviewing the letter of intent, conducting legal and tax audits, drafting and negotiating the acquisition or disposal agreement, and assisting with closing.

We assist managers and investors in their private equity transactions. Our experts negotiate and draft contractual and corporate documentation from the start of negotiations to the finalization of the investment (shareholder agreements, manager guarantees, non-competition agreements, issuance of new shares, and other financial instruments).

We offer expertise in professional mobility and immigration services for businesses and individuals in a constantly changing international context.

Our support covers all issues related to personal mobility, whether it involves impatriation, expatriation, secondment, or permanent relocation. We assist both individuals—executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and independent professionals—and companies at every stage of the process: administrative procedures, work permits, residence permits, and tax and social security status.

Our attorneys analyze each situation holistically in order to propose pragmatic and responsive solutions tailored to our clients' legal and operational requirements. Thanks to our international representation and multidisciplinary expertise (immigration law, taxation, labor law), we deliver integrated advice with high added value.

We mainly represent companies, but also individuals in particularly complex cases.

As such, we manage both individual and collective labor issues for our clients, drawing on our solid experience in strategic management of corporate social and legal risks.

Our teams have been working for several years on complex issues related to the constant development of international sanctions.

As such, we have developed leading expertise in analyzing, advising, and defending the interests of individuals and companies subject to sanctions at the French, European, UK, and US levels.

We draw on our extensive litigation expertise across all our areas of specialization, which is essential for providing informed and effective advice.

We have a team dedicated exclusively to litigation, assisting executives and companies primarily in matters of economic crime. With this hands-on experience, we regularly work with companies to audit litigation risk.

All our lawyers are familiar with alternative dispute resolution methods and trained in mediation or mediation support so that they can use the tools best suited to our clients' constraints and expectations.

If no amicable solution can be found, we assist our clients in defining their litigation strategy and defending their interests before the courts, administrative tribunals, and arbitration panels.
