Jeantet accelerates its growth with the arrival of Nicolas Capelli and Morgan Toanen

 

Paris, February 2, 2026 – Jeantet continues its targeted growth strategy with the appointment of Nicolas Capelli and Morgan Toanen as partners. This dual appointment enables the creation of a dedicated Funds/Tax team specializing in fund structuring.

The arrival of Nicolas and Morgan reflects our commitment to building top-tier expertise in areas where our clients expect high-value advice. They complement our teams with profiles renowned for their technical skills, international vision, and ability to handle sensitive matters,” said Catherine Saint Geniest and Karl Hepp de Sevelinges, co-managing partners of Jeantet.

Nicolas Capelli specializes in investment fund structuring, with 14 years of experience in London, Paris, and Luxembourg. He advises asset managers on the structuring of private equity, venture capital, mezzanine, private debt, and real estate funds (hospitality, value-add, and core), as well as on secondary transactions (LP-led and GP-led). He also advises French and international institutional investors, as well as family offices. Nicolas is recognized for his expertise in structuring semi-liquid funds, including FCPRs and ELTIFs, designed for retail clients through unit-linked life insurance contracts in France and Luxembourg.
“I am delighted to join Jeantet with my entire team, an independent reference firm, to develop an integrated fund structuring offering for both French and international clients. I look forward to contributing to the dynamic of a firm committed to excellence, rigor, and innovation,” said Nicolas Capelli.

Morgan Toanen specializes in tax law and has extensive experience in the tax structuring of alternative investment funds (private equity/real estate/infrastructure), including the implementation of carried interest and co-investment mechanisms. He also advises French and international groups, asset managers, and executives on direct and indirect taxation matters, particularly in the context of mergers & acquisitions and LBO transactions. Prior to joining Jeantet, he worked at leading French and international law firms.
I am very excited to join Jeantet with my colleague and to contribute to the development of a strategic tax practice, fully integrated with the firm’s other areas of expertise. In a complex international environment, tax considerations are at the heart of our clients’ legal and economic decisions,” added Morgan Toanen.
