Haywood Martin Wise

Haywood Wise (and one of his associates) successfully took my Canadian partner and I though the French SARL process. It took a bit longer than we had planned, but frankly that was mostly our fault — as we allowed several weeks to pass before we organised our part of the "to-do" portfolio. Still, th...e law is over-built everywhere, and we are up, running and hoping the E.U. will recover soon. We recommend Maître Wise to anyone seeking english-speaking french legal counsel.

Haywood helped me obtain my French citizenship, even though it was an extremely tricky process, due to the fact that many documents were difficult to obtain (from Morocco and Algeria, almost 100 years old) and that my mother did not maintain strong ties with France. I tried to achieve this on my o...wn for almost 8 years, without success! But after almost two and a half years of additional effort, Haywood and team succeeded in obtaining my CNF. Thanks, Haywood! I certainly couldn't have done it without your expert assistance.

I practice corporate and securities law, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. where I’ve developed strategic professional and business relationships. Over my 35 years of practice, hiring lawyers all over the world, I’ve learned how critically important it is to hire only the very best and br...ightest colleagues as local counsel. I recently engaged Haywood Wise to obtain a “Skills and Talents" Visa ("Carte Compétences & Talents") for my most important client. It’s a difficult one to obtain because it requires solid proof that you are likely to make a significant or lasting contribution, through your skills or talents, to France’s economic development or to its intellectual, scientific, cultural, humanitarian or athletic prestige. I was very happy with Haywood and his associates’ on several levels. First, he and his associates took a personal interest in the matter and really cared. Secondly, they responded promptly to my questions and concerns and communicated well. Thirdly, and most importantly, Haywood and his team had a unique combination of top-notch legal skills, experience, contacts and a practical approach that enabled them to complete the job efficiently and for reasonable compensation. Haywood Martin Wise is one of the most talented and reliable professionals with whom I have worked since becoming involved in international business years ago. I highly recommend Haywood for projects that require his special brand of savvy and competence.
