August Debouzy advised Raphaël Touati and Benoît Tallandier, co-founders of Baback, on the business combination between Baback and Shippingbo, a specialist in SaaS solutions for e-commerce logistics.

Founded in 2022 by Raphaël Touati and Benoît Tallandier, Baback has developed a platform that enables e-commerce retailers to automate and streamline the management of returns, exchanges and credit notes. The company currently supports more than 260 brands, particularly in the luxury and ready-to-wear sectors.

This combination marks a new stage in Baback’s development and builds on the vision pursued by Raphaël Touati and Benoît Tallandier since the company was founded. They will continue to play an active role in the company’s development.

Building on the complementary expertise of Baback and Shippingbo, the combination should enable Baback to accelerate its expansion in France and across Europe, gradually extend its offering beyond its traditional fashion and accessories markets, and provide e-commerce retailers with an integrated solution covering their entire logistics chain.

The August Debouzy team advising Baback’s co-founders on corporate matters comprised Julien Aucomte (Partner), Maxime Legourd (Counsel), Albane Shehabi (Associate) and Fabien Chaput (*Juriste*). Elie Betard (Counsel) advised on tax matters.
