The share of each authority responsible for organising school transport for special public road transport services reserved for pupils is established by the prefect under the following conditions:

1° When all the service points of a special service were, during the 1983-1984 school year, located within the same urban transport perimeter, the corresponding right to compensation is allocated to the authority competent for the organisation of urban transport ;

2° Where all the service points of a special service were during the 1983-1984 school year located outside urban transport perimeters, the corresponding right to compensation is allocated to the département;

3° In other cases, the amount of the right to compensation corresponding to the special service existing previously is shared or allocated by agreement between the département and the authority or authorities competent for the organisation of urban transport. In the absence of an agreement notified by one of the authorities concerned to the prefect before 31 July 1984, the right to compensation is allocated to the département, unless during the 1983-1984 school year the service was organised by one of the authorities competent for the organisation of urban transport; in the latter case the right to compensation is allocated to the latter authority;

4° By way of derogation from 3° above, when the special service was organised, under the conditions provided for in the second paragraph of

Article 30 of law n° 83-663 of 22 July 1983

supplementing law n° 83-8 of 7 January 1983 relating to the distribution of powers between communes, départements, regions and the State, by a commune, a group of communes, a mixed syndicate, an educational establishment, a parents' association or a family association, the right to compensation is allocated to the département; however if the main purpose of the special service was to provide transport for pupils within an urban transport perimeter, the right to compensation is allocated to the authority responsible for organising urban transport within this perimeter by reasoned order of the prefect.

Working with a corporate lawyer in France — Q&A

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 the gap between French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.

The SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) is the default choice for most international structures: flexible governance, single shareholder allowed, no minimum capital, and works cleanly with foreign holding entities. We assess SARL, SA, SCI on the merits when the situation calls for it.

Yes — communications with a French avocat are protected by the secret professionnel (Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971). This protection is broader than the common-law attorney-client privilege and applies to written and oral exchanges.

We work on fixed fees for clearly scoped engagements (incorporation, contract drafting, audits) and on monthly retainers for ongoing advisory. Hourly billing is the exception, not the default. You always know the cost before work starts.

Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from KYC kick-off to RCS registration, assuming standard documentation. Holding-company structures, foreign-shareholder identification or in-kind contributions can extend this — we flag the gating items at the first meeting.

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate with your in-house counsel, expert-comptable or notaire — pragmatic collaboration is the norm, not the exception. We send them everything they need to do their part without duplicating work.
