Good Friends

A trusted international network of partners

De Gaulle Fleurance assists its clients in cross-border transactions through its international presence, as well as through a network of leading partner law firms, our Good Friends, selected for their excellence in their respective jurisdictions.

These long-standing relationships enable us to assemble the most appropriate team for each matter and jurisdiction, allowing us to support even the most complex international transactions.

An approach based on excellence and independence

Our Good Friends are firms recognised in their respective jurisdictions, with whom we maintain close and long-standing professional relationships. These firms share our commitment to quality and responsiveness, as well as a deep understanding of our clients’ business challenges, which form the foundation of effective and high-quality collaboration.

Our approach is above all based on independence. We are not bound by any exclusivity agreement and retain full discretion in selecting the firms with which we work. This independence enables us to select on a case-by-case basis, the firm best suited to the matter, taking into account the nature of the transaction, the sector involved and the stakeholders concerned, always acting in the sole interest of our clients.

Supporting our French clients abroad

When our clients’ transactions involve jurisdictions in which the firm does not have offices, De Gaulle Fleurance acts under arrangements tailored to the specific needs of the matter and the client’s expectations.

Depending on the nature and complexity of the transactions, De Gaulle Fleurance may also play a coordinating role in transnational projects involving several jurisdictions, ensuring the overall legal and strategic consistency of the transaction. In all cases, our involvement is structured on a bespoke basis, with a focus on flexibility, efficiency and the smooth and secure execution of international transactions.

Supporting foreign clients in France

Our Good Friends regularly entrust us with matters governed by French law on behalf of their international clients.

These engagements form part of long-term relationships based on reciprocity, mutual trust and a strong mutual understanding of each other’s expectations.

Each matter is handled individually, taking into account its specific context and the expectations of the end client, in a spirit of flexibility and independence. All professionals within the firm work seamlessly in both French and English, ensuring smooth exchanges with foreign teams and full clarity regarding the legal and operational issues arising in France.

Integrated expertise in multi-jurisdictional matters

This organisation enables De Gaulle Fleurance to act on multi-jurisdictional matters by providing a global and strategic view of transactions, beyond the mere juxtaposition of applicable laws. The firm therefore ensures the overall consistency of projects, both from a legal and operational standpoint, within complex regulatory environments.
