Company law lawyer in Angers: shareholders, directors, transfers

Yes. Drafting articles of association and shareholders' agreements, holding meetings and carrying out transfers know no bar boundaries; the firm handles its matters in Angers from start to finish.

Before the commercial court, where the law requires representation by a lawyer with territorial standing (avocat postulant), the firm arranges it with a local colleague.

The firm, based on rue Margueritte in Paris 17th arrondissement, acts for shareholders, directors and companies in Angers.

To anticipate the crisis before it arrives: entry into and exit from the share capital, approval, pre-emption, inalienability, governance, resolution of deadlocks.

The agreement supplements the articles of association and remains confidential between the signatories; breach of it is remedied by damages, and sometimes by specific performance.

The firm drafts agreements that stand up in court: each clause is designed with the dispute it prevents in mind.

First by transferring your shares: negotiated, or organised by the articles of association and the agreement (approval, pre-emption, tag-along).

Failing agreement on the price, an expert sets it, appointed by the parties or by the president of the court (Article 1843-4 of the French Civil Code).

In extreme cases, dissolution for a disagreement paralysing the company's operation may be argued — the firm uses it only as a last resort.

Yes, under strict conditions: notice, quorum, majority, abuse — irregularity is assessed against the law and the articles of association.

Since the 2025 reform, actions for nullity of corporate decisions are subject to a two-year limitation period (Article 1844-14 of the French Civil Code).

The firm analyses the minutes and the articles of association, and weighs nullity, liability and negotiation.

Disputes relating to commercial companies fall within the jurisdiction of the commercial court of Angers, 19 rue René Rouchy, 49100 Angers — telephone 02 41 87 89 30 (Article L. 721-3 of the French Commercial Code).

Civil companies fall within the jurisdiction of the judicial court of Angers, rue Waldeck-Rousseau.

Appeals go to the court of appeal of Angers, rue Waldeck Rousseau, 49000 Angers, within one month.

Everything depends on the corporate form and the articles of association: removal at will, for just cause, or governed by the agreement — with or without compensation.

An abrupt or humiliating removal gives rise to a right to compensation, even where the removal itself is regular.

The firm negotiates directors' exits and argues abusive removals.

Management fault can engage their civil liability; in the event of liquidation, the shortfall in assets may be attributed to them under certain conditions.

Personal guarantees given to banks remain the most frequent risk — they can be negotiated and challenged.

The firm defends directors who are pursued and secures their commitments in advance.

First through due diligence, then through the deed: price and terms, representations and warranties, warranty and indemnity agreement with its floors, caps and durations.

Statutory approvals and pre-emption rights are cleared before signing — an irregular transfer can be challenged.

The firm drafts and negotiates the full set of documents, for the seller as for the buyer.

Apply to the president by urgent application (référé): appointment of a provisional agent or administrator in the event of deadlock, protective measures, interim payment (Article 873 of the French Code of Civil Procedure).

Secure the evidence: bailiff's reports, escrow arrangements, preventive expert assessments.

In an emergency, call directly: the first consultation serves to secure the position, then to build the case.

Fees are set out in a written agreement, in accordance with Article 10 of the Law of 31 December 1971: before committing, the client knows what the assignment covers and what it costs.

The firm favours a fixed fee for each stage: consultation and strategy, drafting of deeds, proceedings, appeal.
