Defense, nuclear, and dual-use industrial sectors present advisory challenges that no generalist firm is equipped to meet. The transactions are complex, the sensitivities are real, and the consequences of misjudgement are not merely financial. We have built the relationships, the discretion, and the sector knowledge to advise at this level.
M&A advisory for defense primes, sovereign industrial assets, and dual-use technology companies.
Nuclear sector expertise: advisory on assets within both the civil and strategic nuclear chain.
Deep understanding of French and European sovereign industrial policy and its impact on permissible transaction structures.
Advisory for government-adjacent entities navigating privatisation, consolidation, or strategic partnership.
Regulatory and clearance navigation: FDI screening, Comité interministériel, and equivalent international regimes.
Absolute discretion as a baseline, not a premium. Every mandate in this sector demands it.
Senior partner-only engagement: the sensitivity of these transactions requires principals at the table throughout.
