As part of the deployment of its activities, Walter Billet Avocats is pleased to announce the promotion of Christophe Cussaguet to the rank of partner, within its corporate division. Through this appointment, which takes place concurrently with its 10th anniversary, the firm realizes a new stage in the entrepreneurial adventure initiated by its co-founders and consolidates one of its two historic departments.
Joining the firm shortly after its creation, Christophe works alongside investment funds but also companies of all sizes – from start-ups to SMEs and ETIs – in the context of their capital transactions. He was promoted to counsel in January 2023.
“Christophe’s career is a perfect illustration of our desire to welcome young lawyers alongside us who want to participate in the deployment of the firm and fully integrate them into the development of our human-sized structure”, say Alan Walter and Fabien Billet, the co-founders of Walter Billet Avocats. Over the past decade with us, he has developed know-how and expertise essential to supporting our clients in all of their business law issues, intervening indifferently in the structuring of fundraisings, LBOs, build-up operations or even through strategic mergers.“
Christophe Cussaguet declares: “I am delighted to take a new step alongside Fabien and Alan and to thus concretize my commitment to the next phases of development of the firm. The variety of the nature of the files handled within our team and the sectors of activity in which our clients operate are all motivations to continue to position ourselves as a partner in their growth.“
Walter Billet Avocats has around ten professionals in its corporate and IT-IP departments.
