KACERTIS AVOCATS

What KACERTIS AVOCATS does

KACERTIS AVOCATS is an independent French business law firm structured as a SELARL (société d'exercice libéral à responsabilité limitée) and registered in Nantes (RCS Nantes No. 499 194 777). The firm provides advisory and litigation services to companies and their executives across the full spectrum of business law, with dedicated practice areas in mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring and distressed-business proceedings, commercial litigation, contracts and competition law, labor and criminal labor law, social litigation, real estate law and enforcement/security interests, and corporate and personal tax/wealth planning. Its client base is overwhelmingly French SMEs and mid-market companies, with disclosed mandates spanning industries as varied as marble fabrication, measurement instruments, water infrastructure, frozen pastry, and waste recycling.

The firm operates from two offices — Nantes (headquarters at 46 rue Félix Faure) and Paris (10 boulevard Raspail and a secondary address at 32 rue de Londres associated with the real estate practice) — and employs a team of approximately 17 professionals comprising eight equity partners (Pierre Gauchard as gérant, Antoine Thiebaut, Anouck Suberbielle, Marie Robineau, Cindy Carré, Jérémy Rovere, Roxane Bourg and Henri-Louis Tauveron), four associates, three jurists, a trainee lawyer, and administrative staff. Registered share capital is €107,800; the firm has no disclosed external shareholders, no parent company, and no funding rounds, operating on a traditional partnership economics model.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service legal mandates — billable hours, fixed fees for defined engagements, and ongoing retainers — across advisory and contentious matters. The firm pursues top-of-funnel awareness via its professional website and legal publications, an active LinkedIn presence, the recently launched YouTube educational channel 'Les fondamentaux du droit avec Kacertis', and participation in industry bodies such as AARO (regional turnaround professionals) and 1% for the Planet (since 2019). No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or productized software offerings are disclosed; service delivery is partner-led and human-capital-intensive.
