With now 35 partners, Jeantet enters 2023 with the ambition to provide its clients with even better support on their main strategic issues.

For Karl Hepp de Sevelinges, co-managing partner: “These appointments recognize the remarkable career paths and developments within our firm. They perfectly reflect our development strategy and our desire to strengthen our expertise by relying on the talents that are the foundation of our almost 100-year-old firm.”

A lawyer since 2011, Maxime Brotz joined Jeantet in 2015, as part of Thierry Brun’s M&A team. He works on M&A matters, for French and international clients, and PE, mainly for investment funds. In particular, he has developed a specific practice in healthcare transactions, advising several specialized funds and groups in this sector. Today, his practice ranges from small cap to mid-cap, on the PE side, and from mid-cap to upper mid-cap, on the M&A side.
