Selling a Business in France
France has one of Europe's most active PE markets, with a deep domestic GP landscape centred on Paris. The French mid-market is characterised by strong family business succession dynamics, growing tech sector M&A, and significant industrial and luxury goods transaction activity. French employment law, minority shareholder protections, and the role of works councils are transaction-specific factors that require early planning.
