VERNIER & ASSOCIÉS — Practices

SUBSTANCE,NOTPOSTURE.

A practice is not a heading. It is a responsibility.

This is the heart of the firm: the matters the partners plead, negotiate and sign in their own name. Each is described without superlatives, with anonymised examples — because discretion is not suspended for a web page.

The matters

Five blocks. Nothing between the lines.

The matters cited are representative, never identifiable. The sector is enough; the name belongs only to the client.

01

LITIGATION

We plead rarely, and that is a policy. A well-prepared dispute often ends with a letter — when we must rise, we rise early.

Representative matters

  • shareholder dispute · industry
  • termination of established relations · distribution
  • enforcement of an arbitral award · energy
02

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Deals carried end to end by one partner, never by relay. The timetable holds because the team is short and nothing is discovered at closing.

Representative matters

  • sale of a family group · food industry
  • cross-border acquisition · software
  • shareholders' agreement · healthcare
03

WEALTH & SUCCESSION

Preparing what comes next while it is still early. A successful succession is the one nobody talks about — not in court, not at the family dinner.

Representative matters

  • succession of a century-old house · trading
  • division of title and governance · real estate
  • shareholder foundation · industry
04

TAX

Tax is not a trick: it is a position, defensible ten years later. We draft every structure as if the inspector were reading over our shoulder.

Representative matters

  • tax audit and litigation · services
  • transfer pricing · manufacturing
  • pre-sale restructuring · technology
05

WHITE-COLLAR DEFENCE

The discipline where silence takes the most work. We prepare our clients to answer precisely — and to answer only that.

Representative matters

  • dawn raid and voluntary interview · executive management
  • internal investigation · public procurement
  • negotiated settlement · banking

The position

An opinion, not a menu.

Outside these five disciplines, the firm will refer you to a colleague — by name, without charge, and without regret. Within them, you will receive a single, committed opinion: act, wait, or walk away. We do not sell options; we take a position, and we sign it.

What follows

BEHIND EVERYDISCIPLINE,a name that signs.

Practices do not plead themselves. Four partners carry them, from the first meeting to the final act.
