Vincent Babin advises innovative companies on how to successfully raise capital, build strong businesses, and pursue external growth transactions. He also assists venture capital investors and corporate venture funds in their investments and in restructuring companies and exits.

When advising founders, Vincent is involved in every stage of a start-up's development, from the constitution of the founding team, to fundraising, external growth M&A, and potential exits. He has valuable experience in setting up employee incentive plans, thinking through the governance of the company, and providing strategic and practical legal advice to clients. Vincent's hands-on experience allows him to advise investors with pragmatism and with a view to creating business value.

Vincent has maintained close ties with the EDHEC Business School, where he occasionally provides training to LL.M. students on venture capital law, as well as legal assistance to the school's entrepreneurs in Station F (a business incubator for start-ups).

Before joining Jones Day in 2023, Vincent worked at other international law firms for several years.
