Not-for-profit organisations.

In line with the objective fixed by the French Law on Social and Socially Responsible Economy to “reconcile public interest and economic performance”, Akilys has developed extensive expertise in terms of not-for-profit organisations and more generally all the related legal and fiscal challenges.

As we respect the values, heritage, and strength represented by each movement, each cause and each project, Akilys supports associations, foundations, cooperatives, sports clubs, and groups from the outset and through all phases of their development.

Using proven skills and know-how in structuring and transferring “profit-making” businesses, Akilys teams are regularly active on complex mergers, partial asset contributions, transfers, and transformations.

Akilys is also regularly consulted by public or private sector organisations on legal and tax-related issues related to the world of associations and foundations.
