BCTG Avocats advises and supports entrepreneurs, start-ups and investors in venture capital transactions.
The team gets involved right from the start-up or reorganisation phase of the business to secure the legal framework for its activities: choice of corporate form, implementation of an appropriate shareholders’ agreement, organisation of capital and governance bodies, preparation for the entry of investors.
This support continues throughout the development of the business, working alongside founders and managers as well as investors:
- fundraising/investment transactions (seed capital, venture capital, development capital): conducting legal audits, negotiating documentation (letter of intent, shareholders’ agreement, investment protocol or guarantee agreement, drafting corporate documentation, etc.)
- implementation of incentive plans for corporate officers and employees (Bspce, free share allocation, etc.).
The team stands out for its ability to combine legal expertise with an understanding of its clients’ business challenges. It works alongside dedicated teams in the areas of employment law and financing.
The practice is led by Cyprien Dufournier, a partner who has developed a recognised practice in the tech ecosystem, and also draws on the expertise of Catherine Dupuy Burin des Roziers, Aymeric Malphettes and Séverin Kullmann, all partners.
BCTG Avocats is a partner of several French start-up associations and organisations, including France Digitale and Réseau Entreprendre Paris.
