The House
The partners behind every address.
A small, international team. Bilingual by training, French by residency, investors and relocators by life experience. Every engagement is led by a partner, every day.
Our Practice
Guava Partners is deliberately small. A close-knit group of partners and senior associates, spread between Paris, the South and West of France, and the cities where our clients most often land.
Our team was assembled for one thing. A consistent standard of advice for international clients, in English, in French, and where it matters, in Mandarin and Spanish. No junior layer, no outsourced search, no off-shore back-office. Every name on this page is a person you can actually meet.
Every transaction is led, start to finish, by the partner whose name you first heard. By a practice that will still be here in ten years.
