Spark Avocats

M&A/ Private Equity

Partner lawyer

Paris court barrister – founding partner of Spark Avocats.

She’s crazy about deals! Acquisitions, transfers, raising capital, restructuring Ariane handles equity operations on a daily basis, but also partnering or disengagement issues, for which she has developed a “Spark method” based on coaching and mediation.

Because she is first and foremost an entrepreneur, “building” is her favourite verb: specifications, solutions, risk management tools for her clients, or even a firm, a team and all sorts of projects: according to her, everything is built!

French - English

After obtaining a Bachelor of Laws from KING’S COLLEGE in London, she developed an international clientele for which she negotiates and drafts international commercial contracts in English (services, distribution, licences, cooperation, joint ventures, partnerships).

Formerly a lecturer at the University of Paris XII, she regularly takes part in training courses, conferences and breakfasts, in both French and English.

She has thus been involved for several years in HEC’s Executive MBAs, as well as in the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s “Repreneurs Club”, having often participated in INSEAD‘s “Your First Hundred Days” sessions.
