Nous avons accompagné Bpifrance dans la structuration juridique du fonds Bpifrance Spark, lancé en partenariat avec JPMorganChase . Ce fonds cible les véhicules d’amorçage, de capital-risque et de capital-croissance, gérés par des sociétés dont le capital est détenu à plus de 33 % par des femmes, ou intégrant une stratégie d’investissement à impact sociétal. Visant une taille cible de 150 millions d’euros, il a réalisé un premier closing à 33 millions d’euros, portant le montant total engagé à près de 75 millions d’euros. Soutenu par des acteurs majeurs, le fonds a d’ores et déjà investi dans Revaia Growth II, fonds de capital-croissance ciblant les entreprises technologiques à forte croissance, et Alter Equity III, fonds à impact centré sur les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux. Notre équipe était composée de Diane Campion de Poligny , associée, Pia Sabatier et Lucas Meyruey , collaborateurs, sur la structuration de fonds ; et de Raphaël Béra , associé, et Thomas Guillier , counsel, sur les aspects fiscaux. https://lnkd.in/e-xKdEqe #PrivateEquity #Fonds #ImpactInvesting #Inclusion #VentureCapital #DLAPiperFrance

Our team in Paris welcomed Paralympic swimmer @agathe_pauli as a guest speaker at a recent away day. Agathe, who we sponsor, shared her experiences of swimming, competing and training and told us what she does on a day-to-day basis. It was fascinating to hear her insights and she left us all feeling very inspired! You can watch a video from the day on Agathe's Instagram feed. 🏊‍♀️ The away day, at the Philharmonie de Paris, was also a great opportunity to reflect on our values and ambitions. We're a sponsor of the 'Disco' exhibition, currently showing in the concert hall, so we enjoyed taking this in. The exhibition is a vibrant celebration of cultural diversity and a tribute to creativity in all its forms! Thanks to the Philharmonie for hosting us. #DLAPiperFrance #Inclusion #TeamSpirit
