Paralegal
Lawyer in Laval, Stéphane has a wealth of experience in business law and in corporate mergers and acquisitions.
He is also Head of Legal Operations at Edilex, our partner.
For several years, he has focused his practice on public contracts. He regularly assists public and municipal bodies in concluding complex contracts, to ensure that the contractual process complies with applicable legislative and regulatory rules and best practices. To this end, he assists and collaborates with the management of numerous public and municipal organizations. He also gives training courses in public contracts, and works closely on drafting and revising clauses for the Edilexpert tool.
Finally, he assists companies wishing to obtain authorization from the Autorité des marchés publics (AMP) to do business with public and municipal bodies.
A passionate man, Stéphane is a good listener and leader of young professionals, helping them to become accomplished jurists.
