DRIVING INSTITUTIONAL DIALOGUE
Ensuring the security of the transaction
Institutional dialogue consists in maintaining a constant link between the public authorities and the parties to an operation throughout its duration
In the context of a transaction placed under an authorization regime, the development of the transaction in close dialogue with the public authorities alone ensures its security and sustainability.
This institutional dialogue is led by specialists from the public authorities, recognized for their competence in this matter and with a strong network in France and internationally.
Protecting the reputation of the operation
Given the national interests that must be preserved, operations involving strategic sectors are subject to heightened scrutiny by authorities, making transparency essential. In this context, any relationship with public authorities – institutional dialogue – must not only meet compliance requirements but also prevent any reputational risks that may arise.
Reputational risk is a major pitfall in strategic transactions because it can undermine the legitimacy and integrity of the parties involved. A negative public perception or suspicions of a lack of transparency can lead to a loss of trust from stakeholders, financial partners, and the public. For companies operating in sensitive sectors such as defense, energy, or infrastructure, poor management of institutional dialogue can not only hinder the completion of the transaction but also damage their long-term image.
To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to strictly adhere to the rules governing interactions with public decision-makers. The mandate for interest representation plays a critical role here, as it ensures that these interactions occur within the framework of public transparency requirements. In addition to ensuring legal compliance, this mandate also serves to demonstrate the commitment of the parties to integrity and transparency, thereby reducing the risk of public controversy.
In summary, in a transaction with a strong strategic component, reputational risk, if mishandled, can not only damage the company’s image but also jeopardize the viability of the operation itself. By establishing transparent and compliant institutional dialogue, stakeholders can secure their operation and position themselves as trusted partners to both the authorities and the public.
