Real French legal expertise, bilingual, with prices fixed in writing before any chargeable work begins.
Paris-Bar registered avocate — LMA documentation, French security packages, ACPR / AMF licensing, LBO architecture. Bilingual deliverables.
Same firm from term sheet through facility agreement, security package, drawdown and refinancing — no handover.
Flat fees for defined deliverables — agreed in a “convention d’honoraires” before any chargeable work begins.
Any time a strategic decision changes how the company is owned, governed or contractually bound — incorporation, fundraising, M&A, restructuring, shareholder agreements, or major commercial contracts. Earlier engagement always costs less than later remediation.
A notary (notaire) is a public officer who authenticates specific deeds (mainly real-estate transfers and certain family-law acts). A corporate lawyer (avocat) advises on strategy, negotiates and drafts company documents, and represents you in disputes. The two roles complement rather than overlap.
Yes — most of our clients are foreign suppliers, investors or holding entities. We bridge French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.
It depends on your liability, governance and tax goals — the SAS is the most flexible for foreign investors, while the SARL suits smaller, closely-held ventures. We compare the options against your plan before you incorporate.
Yes. Communications with a French avocat are protected by professional secrecy (secret professionnel) under Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971 — an enforceable obligation, not a courtesy.
We agree a written fee arrangement (convention d'honoraires) up front — flat fees for defined deliverables wherever possible, so you know the cost before any chargeable work begins.
A standard SAS or SARL is typically registered within a few business days once the documents and capital deposit are in place. Cross-border or regulated set-ups take longer; we give you a realistic timeline at the outset.
Absolutely. We coordinate with your accountant (expert-comptable), notary and home-country advisers so the work stays joined-up and nothing falls between the cracks.
