ABOUT

Chapman Avocat is a law firm dedicated to business law and international taxation, advising French and international SME leaders facing structuring, growth and cross-border operational challenges.

​

The firm was founded and is led by Eve Chapman, a business lawyer with an internationally oriented practice. This practice is built on experience acquired in France and abroad, within demanding legal and economic environments, in the context of strategic advisory work, complex transactions and high-stakes matters.

​

This experience underpins a pragmatic advisory approach, focused on securing strategic decisions, controlling legal and tax risk, and ensuring the operational execution of projects. Law is approached as a tool for structuring, protection and steering, in support of the economic and human objectives of business leaders.

​

The firm primarily advises on international legal and tax structuring, cross-border taxation, business and international contracts, and cross-border transactions, within the European Union and beyond, notably with the United States. Targeted litigation support is also provided when it forms part of a broader strategic issue.

​

Each matter is approached through an economic and operational reading of the situation before any legal analysis. The objective is to design coherent, defensible structures adapted to the realities of the business, and to ensure their concrete implementation. The support provided is direct, involved and tailored.

​

Chapman Avocat works with leaders who seek to understand, arbitrate and decide, and who expect from their counsel a strong capacity for analysis, structuring and anticipation. The firm does not operate on a volume-based model, but on a model of exigence, precision and commitment.

​

Alongside advisory work, Eve Chapman regularly publishes legal and tax analyses for business leaders and delivers training in international business law and international taxation, in particular within the framework of continuing legal education for lawyers. This dual activity as practitioner and trainer feeds a rigorous, operational and constantly up-to-date approach.
