NULLA few months after the promotion of Camille Mirabel-Chambaud to partner, Squadra Avocats seeks to strengthen its M&A / Private Equity department by welcoming a new partner, Olivier Mourain, to the team. Accompanied by a senior associate, he will support the six-person team of lawyers.
Olivier works with small and mid-cap clients, both French and international, as well as investment funds – assisting them through all their capital transactions, be it mergers and acquisitions, private equity, or restructuring. His clients mainly operate in the fields of software, healthcare, blockchain, and renewable energy.
He holds over fifteen years’ experience in his areas of expertise and has been recognised with numerous awards – notably for his work in Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity.
After graduating from Paris V University with an Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Management and an M.Phil in Civil and Commerical Law, he joined Fuchs, Cohana, Reboul et Associés at its creation in 2007, before becoming a partner in 2017.
He joins Squadra Avocats in order to offer his clients the benefit of a complete range of services, a comprehensive approach to cases, and a structured team skilled in handling transactional issues.
“Joining Squadra enables me to offer a comprehensive approach to my clients for their everyday problems and for the structural projects their development necessitates. I am delighted to be joining a team that is efficient and fast-growing, with strong ambitions and a real entrepreneurial spirit”, explains Olivier Mourain.
“Strengthening our M&A/Private Equity team was one of our priorities for 2024. The arrival of Olivier will allow us to broaden the scope of our offering and to develop our client base even further, while continuing to perform highly and receive industry recognition for the quality of our teams’ work. We are thrilled”, adds François Lan, the partner in charge of the department.
Squadra’s M&A / Private Equity team will soon be completed by the arrival of new associates to support its work.

Tereos and Futerro have paired up to develop, in Normandy, a circular and sustainable bio-industrial platform, committed to green chemistry.
The aim is to extract dextrose from sustainably-produced French wheat, before then transforming it, in the same geographical region, into bio-sourced, industrially compostable, and recyclable plastic. It’s in the industrial-port area of Port-Jérôme-Sur-Seine (76) that this unique initiative is set to begin in 2027.
Plant-based chemistry, renewability, decarbonization, innovation in maximizing agricultural value… this partnership represents a big step towards the bio-industrial world of the future.
About TEREOS
A cooperative group made up of over 11,200 members, Tereos is recognized for its expertise in the processing of beetroot, sugar cane, lucerne, grains, and potatoes. Thanks to its 43 industrial sites, an operating presence in 15 countries, and the efforts of its 15800 associates, Tereos matches its customers’ demands as closely as possible, with an extensive and complementary range of products.
In 2022/23, Tereos achieved sales of over €6,6 billion.
Squadra Avocats (Camille Mirabel-Chambaud et Marine Despres) has supported PERIPHERAL in negotiating and securing this funding.
PERIPHERAL channels visual information into the user’s peripheral vision, where it is subconsciously picked up by the brain’s subcortical nervous system and used to guide or inform people moving around under intense stress or cognitive load (like firefighters, for example).
Congratulations to founders Aymar de la Mettrie and Lionel Doyen on this great deal!
