M&B is a group of lawyers specialized in business law who are organized under the form of an Economic Interest Grouping (EIG).

In line with its global vision, M&B operates in both Paris and Barcelona.
Our Barcelona office allows us to provide the best advice to companies that have, or wish to gain, a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula.

M&B has remained strongly committed its founding philosophy. All lawyers at M&B share the same principles as to the operation of a commercial law firm: an organisation structured to deliver a quality service in an international environment yet which remains fundamentally a people business.

 

Our quality standard: Expertise & Responsiveness

Intrinsically designed to meet the needs of companies, and company officers M&B provides advice on all aspects of commercial law as well as specific issues related to the Franco-Spanish relationship.

We have built close partnerships with law firms sharing our vision in France and in other countries to collaborate in specific areas of expertise such as tax law or public law.

We attach a great deal of importance to the recruitment and education of our associate lawyers.

Responsiveness and availability are key elements of our service and our firm is structured in such a way to enable us to meet our clients' expectations.

 

The Human Dimension: Proximity & Involvement

As our number-one priority, we endeavour to establish a consistent dialogue with our clients to gain a good understanding of each client’s specific situation and needs, and focus on the client’s business.

While expecting high-quality service from our associates, we also endeavor to ensure their own professional fulfillment.

Our principle is based on responsibility and accountability for client files, giving our assitants ownership in their work ensures their absolute dedication to client service.

A Comprehensive Approach: Corporate and Litigation Resolution

Although the profession merged contentious and non-contentious legal work in 1991, we believe that corporate advice and litigation remain two distinctive (but complementary) areas of expertise.

We believe that all our lawyers should be able to deliver both strategic and practical corporate legal advice as well as being able to provide top quality representation in litigation.

Every member of our firm can provide you with both corporate and non-contentious advice tailored to your business needs, as well as litigation advice if you find yourself in a dispute situation.
