International
An international culture at the heart of our advisory services since our group’s inception
From its inception, De Gaulle Fleurance has advised its clients worldwide on complex, high-stakes matters, both in advisory and dispute resolution contexts.
Our international practice is supported by a comprehensive and continuously evolving framework. It enables us to assist international clients in France as well as to act directly abroad. This organization draws on the expertise of our teams in cross-border transactions and international disputes and arbitration, our platforms dedicated to specific international markets (Monaco Wealth and Business), our overseas locations, and a carefully selected network of foreign partners known as our Good Friends.
We therefore design tailored legal and tax strategies adapted to the complexity and stakes of each matter, as well as to the legal constraints of the relevant jurisdictions. Our objective is to support the long-term development of our clients and to secure their international operations and interests.
Strategic international coverage
With locations in Paris, Brussels, Geneva, Abu Dhabi, Abidjan and Dakar, De Gaulle Fleurance supports French and international clients in their cross-border projects.
Our locations serve as strategic hubs, located at the heart of key economic, financial, and institutional centers worldwide.
Through Monaco Wealth and Business, our group offers a dedicated platform of services addressing legal and wealth structuring matters relating to Monaco, in collaboration with leading local experts.
