Anderlaine International: your committed English-speaking business partner in the French Alps
Anderlaine: multidisciplinary expertise
Anderlaine is a dynamic multidisciplinary company that was created from the merger of SR Conseil, Sareg, Lexalp and a notarial firm.
It has assembled all our regulated professions – chartered accountants, lawyers, notaries and auditors – under a single umbrella, to support our 12,000 professional clients and 18,000 individual clients.
Our desire to forge even stronger bonds with our clients inspired us to create Anderlaine (‘andere’ means ‘other’ in German and ‘laine’ means ‘wool’ or ‘yarn’ in French, evoking the idea of a taut thread). ‘Pluriels, plus haut’ is the promise (in French) our 600 employees in our 20 offices in the Rhône-Alpes region make to you: they contribute their wide-ranging expertise and are committed to helping you succeed in your ventures.
Anderlaine also marks the start of a new era in digital customer service. With this ambition in mind, we’re rolling out new digital tools, and our clients are already seeing their benefits. They also continue to receive support from our customer experience teams, who listen to their needs and are there at every step of the customer journey.
Anderlaine is more than just a new name. It’s a new identity, a pledge to bring you value, and our unwavering commitment to helping our clients to succeed.

What is an SPE?
A Société Pluriprofessionnelle d’Exercice (SPE) is a multidisciplinary French business form created by the Macron Law of 2015, which completely changed the landscape of private-practice professions (professions libérales) in France. With an SPE, regulated professionals can consolidate their respective added value in a single organisation.
In 2019, Anderlaine (then SR Conseil) was among the first in the Alps to create an SPE that united chartered accountants, lawyers, and statutory auditors. At the time, only 27 SPEs set up offered chartered accountancy services (source: revuefrancaisedecomptabilite.fr/la-profession-comptable-en-chiffres). Then in 2021, the partners brought a notary on board, putting the finishing touch on today’s Anderlaine SPE.
