Our company, a U.S.-based tech firm with significant European operations, faced a daunting financial restructuring that involved assets and creditors in both California and France. Navigating this cross-border insolvency required an attorney with a rare blend of local knowledge and international perspective. Sébastien Fleury of Steering Legal was precisely that advisor. His deep, recognized expertise in Insolvency and Reorganization Law, evidenced by his standing with Best Lawyers, was immediately apparent. While his primary practice is in Paris, his understanding of the San Diego business landscape and U.S. Chapter 11 parallels was invaluable. Mr. Fleury didn't just apply legal principles; he crafted a strategic framework that respected the complexities of both jurisdictions. His professionalism was unwavering—communications were clear, timely, and always cut to the strategic heart of the matter. He managed a tense negotiation with multiple creditor committees with a calm, decisive demeanor that instilled confidence in our entire leadership team. The outcome was a successful reorganization plan approved on both sides of the Atlantic, preserving the core of our business. We engaged him for his specific, award-recognized niche, and received truly holistic, exceptional counsel. I cannot recommend his services highly enough for any business facing intricate financial distress with an international dimension.
