J&A ADVISES IMPACT PARTNERS ON THE FUNDRAISING OF ITS FUND, IMPACT GROWTH V

Joffe & Associés advised Impact Partners on the fundraising of its fund, Impact Growth V, dedicated to European social investment. The fund, targeting €400 million, has already secured over €160 million at its first closing.

 

Managed by Impact Partners, Impact Growth V invests in profitable European companies with a proven social impact, particularly in healthcare access, training, and the circular economy. It has already completed two international investments: Tekman in Spain and Carelink in Denmark.

 

Distinguished by its originality and clear ambitions, the fund is structured as a Société de Libre Partenariat (SLP) and classified as an Article 9 fund under the SFDR regulation. With a target IRR of 15–19%, Impact Growth V embodies a new generation of funds that reconcile performance and impact, firmly anchored in Europe’s major social challenges.

 

Joffe & Associés, through its Fund Structuring / Asset Management Department led by partner Olivier Dumas, advised Impact Partners on the legal, regulatory, and tax aspects of fund structuring and its marketing in France and abroad.

Blaide Deltombe for Le Parisien : september 2025

Blaise Deltombe comments in Le Parisien on the evolution of the right to paid leave in case of sick leave.

 

⚖️ The Court of Cassation confirms that paid leave can be carried over in the event of sick leave, and accompanies this decision with a statement expressing the hope that this ruling will set a precedent. This is likely a first step before it is codified in the Labor Code, which would guarantee the inviolability of the new rule.

 

This new rule results from the European Commission’s requirement, which put France on notice to comply with European law on this point last June.

 

This development is a major step forward in better protecting employees’ rights, but it also raises questions about the impact on companies and social security.
