Claire Lenoir
Founding partner
Founder of the firm. She handles succession work.
The firm
Three partners, a limited client list
We have chosen not to grow beyond this: past a certain point you stop really knowing the files.
Our story
The firm was founded by Claire Lenoir after a career in private banking. The founding idea fitted in one sentence: advise without selling anything.
There are now three partners and an office manager. We advise business owners, professional practices and a few senior executives — and we have decided not to grow further.
That ceiling is not an affectation. Past roughly twenty files per partner you stop remembering the children's names and the date of the trust deed, and advice turns generic.
The partners
Paul Anselme
Partner
He leads business sale work and the firm's technical monitoring.
Rachid Benali
