Capital Markets & Securities

With our in-depth knowledge of corporate law and stock exchange regulations and our extensive experience in market operations, we assist companies listed on Euronext, Euronext Growth and Euronext Access on both their recurrent obligations and their one-off transactions.
Our team of specialized lawyers advises issuers and executives daily on all aspects of listing, governance, and executive and employee shareholding schemes.
They also advise on specific transactions, including IPOs, securities issues (public offerings and private placements), mergers and acquisitions (public takeover bids).
The securities law team has recognized experience representing clients in investigations by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF).
To anticipate legislative and regulatory developments, the team actively participates in the work of market groups (ANSA, Middlenext, SFAF, AMAFI, IFA) and maintains regular relations with the market authorities (AMF, Euronext).
Our services
Fidal's lawyers handle all the legal aspects of IPOs and capital increases for listed companies, in coordination with the market authorities and the various parties involved (ISPs, listing sponsors). The securities law team advises issuers and their executives, as well as investors and shareholders, on all types of M&A transactions: takeover bids and exchange offers, public buyout offers with or without a squeeze-out, exemptions from public offerings, block purchases and sales. They can also assist with shareholder relations (shareholder agreements, disputes).
Many Euronext- and Euronext Growth-listed companies call on us to manage their annual and recurring obligations:
Registration documents, management reports, governance reports, shareholders' resolutions, financial authorizations
Preparation/conduct of general meetings
- Status of executives: appointment, removal, compensation
- Governance rules, board and committee evaluations, director training
- Executive and employee shareholding (AGA, BSPCE stock options, BSA managers)
- Share buyback programs
- Threshold crossing disclosures, concerted actions
- Prevention of market abuse: disclosures of inside information and delayed disclosures, insider lists, executive stock trading
Our team represents issuers and their executives in connection with investigations by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers.
Fidal has recently developed a free mobile application, "FIDAL Boursier - Enquête AMF", designed to help companies and individuals prepare for a possible AMF investigation and act appropriately in the event of an onsite visit by investigators.
Available in French and English, the application is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones and can be downloaded free of charge from the stores.
