Michelez Notaires provides expertise and experience in family law, corporate law and tax law and liaises with the other advisors assisting company managers and private clients (lawyers, accountants, bankers, family office etc.).

Our recognized fields of expertise include the structuring, growth support and intra-family transfer and takeover of family businesses and the financing and transfer of real estate.

Our teams aim to provide clarity and practical solutions to these problems, which have become particularly complex in view of the increasing fiscal stakes involved.

Our main fields of action are:

– methods of business transfer, for example in the form of a gift inter vivos or intra-family transfer,
– the establishment and securing of tax exemption levers (“Dutreil pacts”),
– financing of transfers,
– problems of family governance,
– protection and transfer of professional real estate,
– strategies prior to transfer of the company (gifting before transfer)
– search for long-term solutions that are fair to all parties.

We also contribute actively to the structuring and transfer of assets, especially in the domains of residential or corporate real estate, investments in France by non-residents and their assets and Forestry holdings.
