Frédéric HUGUENIN

Frédéric HUGUENIN advises a clientele of financial institutions and companies in the field of financing and mergers and acquisitions.

In this capacity, he is regularly required to participate in structured or specialized financing operations on behalf of banks, in particular with a view to preparing financing documents (credit agreement, mezzanine, subordination agreement, pooled operating loans, etc.) and security documents (pledge of securities account, pledge of shares, pledge of business assets, etc.).

He also regularly participates in mergers and acquisitions, changes or restructurings of their shareholding, in particular for the negotiation and drafting of contracts for the transfer of shares, shareholders' agreements, asset and liability guarantees and their implications in company law (increase or reduction of share capital, issuance of composite securities, merger, partial contribution of assets, universal transfer of assets, etc.).

The cross-functionality of his experience, acquired within the firms ERNST & YOUNG, LAMY-LEXEL, MOQUET BORDE (which became PAUL HASTINGS), and CROIZAT HUGUENIN, gives him an ability to understand the challenges of SMEs as well as those of large companies and institutional clients.

Member of the Lyon Bar since 1996.
