A Fieldfisher's team led by Arnaud Grünthaler, partner in charge of the Financial Services practice, advised J. de Demandolx Gestion, an independent private client asset management company, on its merger with Financière Tiepolo, an independent portfolio management company.
With this merger, the two companies, which share common values and have a similar business positioning in the management of listed companies, will see their synergies increase and their respective skills broaden to become one of the leading independent players in non-intermediated private management in France. They will now work together with 32 employees on behalf of a family clientele - 1,400 families trust them, with €1.8 billion under management. The founding families of the two companies, the partners and the employees will own 100% of the merged entity, with the aim of a generational transfer. This merger was supported by Andera Acto, an independent French private equity firm.
For this transaction, the Fieldfisher team, led by Arnaud Grünthaler, adivsed J. de Demandolx Gestion with the regulatory aspects of this merger. The team thus once again demonstrated its in-depth expertise and ability to assist companies in all sensitive issues relating to asset management regulations.
Arnaud Grünthaler, partner in charge of the Financial Services department, comments: "We are delighted to have been able to advise J. de Demandolx Gestion on the regulatory aspects of this merger. In this financial, regulatory and competitive environment, we do our most to support management companies in their development strategy".
