Gatienne BRAULT is a seasoned practitioner whose entrepreneurial desire led her to establish her own law firm in early 2000. Drawing on extensive M&A experience acquired over more than 17 years, Gatienne advises her clients using her established negotiating skill, her strategic vision as well as her ability to overcome obstacles and find innovative while secure solutions. Her litigation experience enables her in most cases, to identify winning solutions for all parties. So as to enable the lawfirm to cover a wider range of transactions, from small to mid cap and because they share the same spirit, she creates STANCE with Jérôme MAJBRUCH and Romain FRANZETTI in 2018.
After several years with firms renowned for their expertise in the field of private equity (Kahn & Associés and Chammas & Marcheteau), and mergers and acquisitions (Aramis), Romain FRANZETTI co-founded in 2014 the firm MF2A, with Jérôme MAJBRUCH. He assists investment funds, family offices and growth companies for their corporate finance transactions, both in seed and venture capital and development capital, as well as in the context of transfer and restructuring phases, with a focus on rigorousness and creativity on a legal perspective and proximity and availability on a human perspective. The meeting with Gatienne Brault and the sharing of a common vision of their profession as counsels led them to create STANCE in 2018. Romain is also an active member of the Corporate, Acquisition and Joint Venture Committee of the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA).
Jérôme MAJBRUCH, founding partner, has been a member of the Paris Bar since 2002. Jérôme began his career in international law firms (Herbert Smith Freehills in Paris and London, then Kahn & Associés) where he advised, for more than 8 years, French and international companies in their acquisitions and fund raising operations. In early 2010, Jérôme MAJBRUCH participated in the creation of the Novescia project, where he was Head of the Legal Department and member of the Executive Committee for 4 years. During this time, Jérôme was responsible for several dozen acquisitions of medical biology laboratories. He has thus actively participated in the structuring of one of the French leaders in medical biology, which in a few years has gone from the project stage to becoming a company with more than 150 million euros in turnover. In 2014 he founded the law firm MF2A with Romain FRANZETTI. The meeting with Gatienne Brault and the sharing of a common vision led them to create STANCE in 2018. Jérôme regularly assists entrepreneurs, companies and investment funds in their equity transactions (acquisition, fund raising, LBO, management package, etc.). Jérôme has developed a particular expertise in the field of health care and regulatory businesses.
Since their inception, Gatienne Brault & Associés and MF2A have been advising purchasers, sellers and managers in hundreds of transactions.
