Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier strikes a balance between advisory work and litigation, with an impressively broad practice that encompasses restructurings, insolvency proceedings and related litigation, and distressed M&A (including cross-border mandates). Acting for the full spectrum of debtors, managers, shareholders, investors and trustees, the firm has represented parties in many of the most high-profile recent cases in the French market, with particular skill in handling distressed situations involving French-listed companies. Co-managing partner François Kopf, who has a wealth of expertise in special situations that combine restructuring, transactional and litigation elements, leads the team. Mathieu Della Vittoria, whose practice has a strong emphasis on distressed litigation, is also a prominent name to note.
