Board Services
Board Services
As a French corporate lawyer, I have held directorship mandates for dozens of companies, gaining deep experience in governance, compliance, and strategic oversight.
When I moved to North America, I transitioned into the Board of Trustees of an international NGO holding special consultative status with the United Nations' Economic and Social Council, where I further developed my skills in fiduciary responsibility and international governance.
Since returning to France, I have leveraged this background to offer non‑executive directorship services to French companies that require solid French expertise, governance support, and local tax substance.
What is a Non-Executive Director?
A Non-Executive Director (NED) is an independant board-level member who is not part of the day-to-day management of the organisation.
As a NED, my role (as a natural person) or LTLO's (as a corporate entity) is primarily to:
bring specialist expertise the board would not otherwise have internally
support the CEO and executive team as a trusted, experienced sounding board
provide substance as a French tax resident.
For asset managers with/or funds investing in France and looking for independent local corporate law experience and strengthened French tax substance.
As a NED, I allow your French Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to function smoothly on a daily basis, in French.
Examples of support:
Attendance to local meetings with lawyers, fund representatives, tenants, or other third parties
Attendance to annual general meetings
Signature of mundane and strategic documents (commercial lease agreements, sale agreement, tax documents ...)
Coordination with your local providers
