Firm
A philosophy focused on performance, for resolving difficult situations, particularly for companies in difficulty or underperforming.
CAHN WILSON has a team of around ten lawyers, the majority of whom have worked faithfully together for many years, mainly in civil, commercial, criminal and tax (business) law.
The differences in their profiles, backgrounds and seniority enrich the professional qualities we bring to our work.
Our assignments are always related to French and European Union law, but have no geographical limits, even if they are most often concentrated on the European continent, and mainly in mainland France.
Our skills and quality of service know no borders, and are appreciated on every continent.
The recent experience of our team joining forces with an English law firm with an international dimension has confirmed, where necessary, the sense of our new-found independence, which has not, on the contrary, diminished the capacities and resources that we mobilise uninterruptedly in the service of our clients and assignments.
We are proud of our performance-oriented positioning and philosophy, without sacrificing the need for safety.
We maintain an aggressive culture of added value, which guides all our work, including the handling of business difficulties, which is at the heart of our practice. Our maturity and character are particularly appreciated in this practice, which is sometimes reputed to be vigorous, or even virile.
Expertises
To this end, we attach the utmost rigour to the preparatory work for all our legal actions, in order to offer the most informed and effective advice and services possible. Our sole objective is to serve the interests and success of the assignments entrusted to us.
CAHN WILSON works alongside companies and all kinds of stakeholders, including individuals (decision-makers), both in managing crisis situations (companies in difficulty, civil and commercial litigation) and in structuring large-scale business law projects.
CAHN WILSON has long developed cutting-edge expertise in the management of insurance companies‘ financial lines, and particularly directors’ and officers' liability (D&O) policies, with the recognition and support of many institutional players in this market, often defending the objective community of interests between an insurer and its insured(s).
CAHN WILSON participates in the diagnosis of business difficulties and the development of solutions to be adopted through preventive measures, with the use of ad hoc mandate or conciliation procedures.
Support for these so-called amicable and preventive procedures is at the heart of our practice.
CAHN WILSON advises, assists and represents companies and their directors in the event of insolvency proceedings (safeguard, receivership or compulsory liquidation).
Its involvement covers the initiation of proceedings, monitoring of the observation period, the search for recovery solutions, and the implementation and monitoring of the plans adopted.
In order to offer its clients a more global approach, CAHN WILSON has developed a solid partnership with turnaround funds, investment banks and financial experts.
CAHN WILSON assists buyers and investors in the takeover of companies in difficulty or of individual assets, within the framework of amicable procedures (ad hoc mandate and conciliation) or judicial procedures (safeguard, recovery or judicial liquidation).
Whether the acquisition is validated by a conciliation agreement (recorded or approved), or integrated into a safeguard or continuation plan, every stage of the transaction is secured.
CAHN WILSON assists its clients in resolving complex, high-stakes disputes: directors' liability, shareholder disputes, commercial and industrial disputes, real estate litigation, etc. in pre-litigation and litigation proceedings, both as plaintiff and defendant, before the civil and commercial courts.
CAHN WILSON is regularly involved in the drafting of all legal documents related to business life: establishment of commercial relationships, structuring, sale, acquisition or affiliation operations, legal secretarial work related to equity transactions.
CAHN WILSON's expertise, first and foremost in litigation and restructuring, is just as much appreciated in transactional matters.
Our long-standing, loyal and regular involvement in the global contemporary art market, for some of its leading stakeholders, has built and maintained the excellent reputation of our services, in advising, reaching agreements and representing clients where necessary.
