Soulier Avocats’ability to work in an international environment in collaboration with renowned foreign specialists enables us to assist French and foreign banks and borrowers not only in connection with financings guaranteed by assets or natural persons/legal entities based on the French territory, but also in relation to international financings that require the implementation of security interests and collaterals in France.

For this type of transactions, our lawyers typically review the financial documentation issued by credit institutions or their counsels, prepare loan agreements and bank guarantees in French and English and issue to French or foreign lending banks legal opinions on behalf of French borrowing companies or guarantors.
