Thomas Gagossian Partner, BBLM Avocats 3 Place Félix Baret, 13006 Marseille Email: marseille@bblma.eu | Tel: +33 4 91 33 54 56 www.bblma.com Thomas, you work within the restructuring department of BBLM Avocats, can you explain to us what the roles for this department include and what responsibilities you hold? The restructuring department is made up of 3 partners: Bernard Bouquet, Remy Gomez and myself, as well as Mahe Vicente and Sophie Mateo. The department works for local and national SMEs and ETIs. We have worked, frequently in conjunction with other firms, with Bourbon, SNCM, Alteo, Minelli and Alinéa, among others. Most of our work is on the debtors’ side, but we also work alongside investment funds, both upstream in amicable proceedings and in the context of insolvency proceedings. Bernard Bouquet is one of the founders of the firm and has also had a highly recognised practice in corporate. Rémy Gomez began his career with Maurice Lantourne, a very well-known French lawyer, and I started out in financing before very quickly turning to restructuring. We cover all the aspect of a restructuring matter and also litigation issues related to this matter.
