The share of each competent authority for the organisation of school transport in respect of the travel of pupils on regular routes is established by the Prefect under the following conditions:

1° When, for a given route, the point of departure and the point of arrival of all the pupils were during the 1983-1984 school year located within the same urban transport perimeter, the right to compensation is allocated to the authority competent for the organisation of urban transport ;

2° Where, for a given route, the point of departure and the point of arrival of all the pupils during the 1983-1984 school year were located outside the urban transport perimeters, the right to compensation is allocated to the département;

3° In other cases, the amount of the right to compensation is shared or allocated by agreement between the interested authorities competent for the organisation of school 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 shall be allocated to one of the competent authorities or shared between those authorities on the basis of the responsibilities exercised by that or those authorities for the organisation and operation of the regular route during the 1983-1984 school year ; where none of these authorities exercised responsibility for the organisation and operation of the route, the right to compensation is allocated to the authority competent for the organisation of urban transport for journeys made by pupils whose point of departure and point of arrival were situated within the same urban transport perimeter and to the département for all other journeys made by pupils;

4° By way of derogation from 3° above, when the point of departure and the point of arrival of all or some of the pupils were located respectively in two contiguous urban transport perimeters, the right to compensation corresponding to these pupil journeys is shared between the two authorities competent for the organisation of urban transport in proportion to the expenditure borne by the State during the 1983-1984 school year for pupils whose point of departure is located in each urban transport perimeter.

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.
