Paris 8e17 rue Jean Mermoz
Registered in Paris · RCS 794 195 636 Independent & conflict-free Senior-led mandates Strict confidentiality
The Firm

A focused advisory house for the downstream energy sector.

From our office in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, we support clients across the full downstream value chain, from product supply and trading to forecourt networks and the land and buildings they stand on.

We work as a small, senior team on a limited number of mandates at a time. Every client deals directly with the people who run the engagement, and every recommendation rests on sector knowledge, careful numbers and complete discretion.

Independence

We are not tied to any oil major, lender or broker. Our advice serves only the client's interest.

Discretion

Sensitive processes run under strict confidentiality, from first contact to closing.

Sector depth

Fuel margins, supply terms, site economics and permitting: we speak the language of the forecourt.

Execution

We stay with our clients beyond the strategy, through negotiation, documentation and completion.
