About Us
In a market largely shaped by Anglo-Saxon full-service platforms, LL Berg stands as one of the last independent French firms exclusively dedicated to MidCap Private Equity and M&A transactions.
Since its inception in 2007, the firm has deliberately embraced a niche, independent and selective model, driven by the conviction that strategic transactions cannot be handled through an industrialized approach.
LL Berg acts exclusively on complex or high-stakes transactions, advising private equity funds, founders, corporates and management teams in situations where understanding human, strategic and capital dynamics is just as critical as technical excellence.
Over nearly two decades, the firm has advised on more than 400 transactions, several of which have become landmark MidCap deals in the French market (including Buffalo Grill, Grand Frais, MonVéto, Almaviva and Mademoiselle Desserts), acting alongside leading investment funds as well as founders and entrepreneurs. This consistency has progressively established LL Berg as one of the market’s recognised signatures.
Since 2007, the firm has consistently been ranked in all leading institutional rankings, including Chambers, Legal 500, Best Lawyers and Décideurs, reinforcing its position among the most recognised players in Private Equity and M&A.
This singular positioning has fostered a culture of excellence and alignment of interests, particularly valued in strategic transactions.
The firm benefits from a recognised multidisciplinary platform through its integrated corporate, tax, employment and financing teams, enabling it to support transactions across all their dimensions.
This independence is both a strategic choice and a defining culture: that of an agile and highly specialised firm where Partners remain personally involved at every stage of the transaction, without dilution of the model or standardization of client relationships.
Because beyond technical expertise, significant transactions ultimately rely on trust, commitment and the ability to understand long-term strategic challenges.
