About Cyril

⚖️ Legal Expertise & Strategy: Secure your growth with a 360° vision

Former Associate Lawyer and Lecturer at IAE Perpignan, I support leaders and companies in managing their legal risks and deploying their compliance strategy.

My experience in ministerial cabinets and at the Bar allows me to offer rare expertise, combining judicial rigor, political vision, and operational pragmatism.

🚀 How I support you:

  • Legal Engineering & Bylaws: Support for company creation and drafting of tailor-made bylaws (SAS, SARL, SCI, Holding). I secure your relationships between partners from day one through robust shareholders' agreements.
  • Drafting & Development of Contracts: General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs), service agreements, commercial leases, SaaS contracts). My goal: clear contracts that protect your interests and facilitate your sales.
  • Data Protection & Cyber: Full GDPR compliance, legal security audit, and training for your teams (Expertise taught at IAE).
  • Corporate Life & Governance: Capital increases and complex statutory modifications;
  • I advise you on dispute prevention and crisis management. In case of conflict, I define with you the best exit strategy.
  • Public Affairs & Energy: Strategic advice on regulatory and institutional issues, with a strong specialization in the RES sector (Solar Plan).

💡 Why work with me?

Double Law & Business Culture: My time in a management school (IAE) allows me to speak the language of your operations, not just the Civil Code.

Risk Anticipation: Having practiced business criminal law, I know how to identify loopholes before they become threats.

"My goal: To transform legal constraints into a lever of trust for your clients and partners."
