    The Acquisition of Viadeo: An Innovative Interaction between French and American Law

     

    In one of the first cases of its kind, US Chapter 15 was used to recognize a French sale process in the cross-border acquisition of Viadeo, a French / US based social networking platform, by the Figaro Group.

     

    Pierre-Gilles Wogue and Julien Balensi advised the Figaro Group in the Viadeo transaction. They analyzed the added value of combining French and US laws in this matter in an article published by the magazine Expertises (n° 433 - March 2018), entitled "L'acquisition de Viadeo : une interaction innovante entre les lois française et américaine".
