Ludovic Genet
Partner – Lawyer
Ludovic joined Ooslo in June 2026 as a partner to create the firm’s tax practice, after more than eleven years with Arsene.
He mainly advises companies, investment funds and management teams in connection with
development, investment, transmission and restructuring transactions. He also advises entrepreneurs,
founders and family shareholders, in particular on the structuring of their projects, the entry of
investors into their capital, liquidity events and transmission matters.
His work covers all tax aspects of M&A and private equity transactions, including tax due diligence and structuring, as well as the implementation of pre- or post-transaction reorganisations.
He also provides day-to-day tax advice to companies and their executives. Ludovic regularly advises individual shareholders, founders and senior executives on their personal and entrepreneurial tax matters, in particular in relation to incentive mechanisms — structuring of management packages, implementation of AGA or BSPCE plans — as well as international mobility and transmission issues.
He also has specific expertise in tax matters relating to investment funds and their individual
unitholders. Ludovic advises on tax audits and tax litigation, as well as on transactions with an international dimension, in coordination with foreign counsel. His technical and pragmatic approach enables him to support clients as closely as possible to the operational issues involved in their transactions.
He is a member of the IACF — Institut des Avocats Conseils Fiscaux — and of the IFA — International Fiscal Association.
Ooslo@Ludovic, what do you like about this job?
Tax law is often perceived as a technical, sometimes dry, area of law. Yet it is very closely connected to the life of businesses and to key moments in the journey of entrepreneurs, executives and investors.
A tax question almost always relates to a concrete decision: a growth project, an acquisition, a transmission, the arrival of an investor, a reorganisation or an important wealth management decision. The role of a tax lawyer is therefore to understand the broader context, identify the key issues and make tax matters clear, structured and directly actionable.
Tax law requires rigour and technical expertise, but it truly makes sense when it helps provide practical and operational answers. This is the balance I find particularly interesting: starting from a solid legal analysis and translating it into clear recommendations, tailored to the project and useful for decision-making.
The relationship of trust with clients is also essential.
Tax issues often arise at structuring, and sometimes sensitive, moments where decisions may have a lasting impact on a business, an executive or a family. Being present at these stages, with an approach that is precise, pragmatic and clear, gives real meaning to my work.
Joining Ooslo also makes it possible to place tax law within a fully multidisciplinary approach to the legal profession. Working alongside lawyers in corporate, M&A, employment, real estate, IP/IT, data and litigation allows us to understand matters as a whole and to provide clients with advice that is more comprehensive, seamless and tailored to their needs.
I also attach great importance to the entrepreneurial dimension of the legal profession. It creates a particular proximity with the clients we advise, who are often entrepreneurs, executives or investors themselves. By joining Ooslo to create the tax practice, I fully reconnect with this logic of building, developing and supporting projects.
