How Alex Revolutionised Octave Conseil: Victor Avril, Founder
In January 2024, Victor Avril founded Octave Conseil, a chartered accountancy and statutory audit practice serving start-ups, SMEs and holding companies. After considering outsourcing legal work, Victor chose to adopt Alex Legal both as a production tool and as a filings clerk. Today 70% of his clients are on the platform, with the goal of reaching 100% by year end.
Challenge
Victor was initially wary. He feared losing control of legal production by outsourcing to a platform like Alex. The idea that clients might use the platform directly, without his involvement, worried him. In the middle of the transition to the guichet unique (one-stop shop), Octave Conseil found itself with dozens of filings stuck at the commercial court registry. Finding an effective solution quickly became urgent.
The Solution
With Alex Legal, Octave Conseil was able to:
Set up a legal production tool to handle its clients' transactions
Digitise all statutory filings — From company registration to corporate restructurings, everything is now managed through Alex.
Centralise client information — A single platform where lawyers, shareholders and investors access all the information they need.
Onboarding
Despite initial concerns about adopting new technology, implementing Alex went smoothly. Within just a few weeks, all companies were integrated into the platform without a hitch. The tool even adapted to Mediawan's internal models.
The Extra Edge
Automated accounting calculations and alerts for insufficient legal reserve provisions have saved the corporate team huge amounts of time. Aimée also highlights the platform's user-friendliness — it is pleasant to use, in stark contrast to her old tool, which caused more stress than efficiency.
3 Benefits of Alex
Time saving — No more spending hours managing filings manually.
Additional service for clients — A comprehensive legal offering, digitised and turnkey.
Centralised control — All information and registers are accessible from a single platform.
Alex Legal has enabled Octave Conseil to offer a turnkey legal service, from company formation through to liquidation. Victor sums it up:
