Kim Pons

Kim is an associate in our corporate team specialising in corporate M&A and cross-border transactions. Having graduated from the prestigious Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University in France with a master’s in international business law, and from Nottingham Law School with a LLM, Kim is a key member of our French desk and provides invaluable advice, particularly to overseas clients, on navigating their inward investments.  

Kim is a core member of the firm’s international group, driving the firm’s international ambitions and maintaining the strength of its French desk. She is a member of the firm’s Pangea Net international network and plays an active role on the board of Pangea Next (Pangea Net’s next generation network). Kim speaks fluent French and English and having been raised in a multicultural environment (including Catalan, Spanish and Italian cultures), she is not only able to advise clients on the law but also on cultural nuances in different jurisdictions. 

In addition to M&A, Kim also advises clients on general corporate governance, IPOs and private equity investments (both sponsors and management).  

Kim has a keen interest in the fashion and beauty industry and is a driving force in the firm’s Retail and Consumer sector group. 

Highlights of Kim’s recent experience include advising (1) an internationally based corporate finance firm on its restructuration, (2) an internationally based luxury brand on its reduction of capital and (3) a French company on its acquisition of a US company’s UK subsidiary, as well as assisting on a potential warranty claim.
