Bertrand Delafaye

Exceptional guidance for our international corporate restructuring

Our company, based in San Antonio, faced a complex cross-border restructuring involving our French subsidiary. We needed an attorney with a nuanced understanding of both U.S. and French corporate law, and Mr. Delafaye was recommended. His dual expertise, particularly his recognition in Corporate Law by Best Lawyers, was immediately apparent. Despite his primary practice in Paris, his coordination with the team at McDermott Will & Schulte in Texas was seamless. He guided us through intricate capital considerations and regulatory compliance with remarkable clarity. What stood out was his ability to translate complex French legal requirements into actionable strategy for our U.S. leadership. His two years of focused experience in these precise areas felt more impactful than decades of a more generalized practice. The process concluded not only successfully but efficiently, avoiding significant operational disruption. Mr. Delafaye’s professionalism, responsive communication, and deep, recognized expertise in Capital Markets and Corporate Law were instrumental. We are deeply grateful for his strategic counsel and would engage his services again without hesitation for any international corporate matter.
