N+1 is owned solely by its executive partners who devote their professional activity to the Group on an exclusive basis and this is basic to ensure independence and long-term stability. This is, in turn, strengthened by the existence of a shareholder agreement between all N+1 partners which prevents the unwanted acquisition by partners of an interest in capital.

Irrespective of the fact that the resolutions laid down by Law are formally taken by the General Meeting and Board of Directors (made up solely of partners), the company’s strategic management is handled by a partner committee that meets fortnightly  to approve strategic decisions. Management of all business areas is fully decentralised and responsibility for business decisions falls solely on the relevant business committees.
