“I chose Ms. Menard and Mr. Zimbris for their high level of specialization (in tax law, estate planning, and corporate finance, in my case). I greatly appreciated their professionalism and responsiveness, and the clients I referred to them were convinced by their expertise. Furthermore, it's a firm of manageable size, with direct access to the partners. I highly recommend them.”

Alexandra Menard (who handled our case) and Caroline Zimbris quickly grasped the specificities of our business and our short- and medium-term needs. Through rigorous and constructive dialogue, they helped us identify the right structure and appropriate legal statuses.
