Who are we?

A consultancy that does NOTHING but contract management.

Our story

Above all, a team of enthusiasts serving contract management.

At Prime Conseil, we are not fond of the word "firm". Nor do we always recognise ourselves in the word "consultant", which can wrongly suggest an adviser, a passive observer content to comment from the sidelines.

Prime Conseil is, first and foremost, a collective of women and men who share a passion for contracts, a taste for a challenge and a highly operational view of the contract, which we see as a means rather than an end.

Prime Conseil is also a shared vision of what contract management should be. A discipline that must strive for excellence, that must be able to get to the heart of projects, and that must be specialist rather than generalist.

Finally, Prime Conseil is a conviction and a mission: to make sure that contract management consulting does not turn into simple staff placement, but remains a high value-added activity, recognised for what it contributes to project profitability and to the bottom line.

Identity

Our DNA.

Between contract and operations
Neither lawyers nor engineers: we are contract managers. Experts in the contract lifecycle, with the dual technical and contractual skill set that lets us grasp what is really at stake in a contract and provide actionable answers at every stage of a project.
Pure player, a conviction
Prime Conseil does nothing but contract management. That exclusive positioning puts us at the heart of project teams and their needs: from drafting and negotiation through to steering execution, on the client side as well as the supplier side, taking in optimisation and claims along the way.
Innovation as the driver
Adopting the Contract Management Standard and CMBOK principles, developing tools for contract analysis, claim drafting and negotiation simulation: we keep pushing the limits of what contract management can achieve for our clients.
Partner team

The leadership team.

Eleven experts by your side, from law, engineering, procurement and sales.

Partner
Pierre Marchès

After a dual training in business law and corporate finance, completed by an Executive MBA at ESCP Business School, Pierre has practised contract management for over 15 years, within major groups and mid-market companies, as well as for French and foreign local authorities and ministries. He founded Prime Conseil in 2020 and specialises in energy, infrastructure and defence.

Alongside this, Pierre has founded two tech startups, one to digitise tendering and the other to automate certain contract management tasks, cultivating an innovative view of the discipline within organisations.

This holistic approach, which sees contract management as part of a virtuous ecosystem serving value creation, makes Pierre a consultant highly valued by major public and private accounts.

Partner
Henri Zouingnan

A former legal manager, Henri spent more than 10 years with leading industrial names, in France and internationally. That experience in food, pharmaceuticals and energy, on contract and claim management issues, taught him how to get the best out of complex contracts in demanding environments.

An active promoter of contract management in France, he joined Prime Conseil in 2021 and is responsible for consultant staffing as well as a client portfolio, to which he brings advice, pragmatism and operational solutions.

Henri stands out for his relationship skills, his open-mindedness and his very quick grasp of cross-cutting issues, which make him an outstanding negotiator.
