Updated 31 Oct 2023

I.-At the request of the directors of all the establishments belonging to the consortium, in consultation with the management boards, after obtaining the opinion of the medical commissions and technical committees of each establishment concerned, and after receiving a favourable opinion from the consortium's strategic committee, the director general of the regional health agency may, in the light of the intentions and capacities of all the establishments belonging to the consortium, authorise the drawing up of a single multiannual global financing plan. If there is no response within one month of receipt of the application, authorisation will be refused.

Without prejudice to the provisions of articles L. 6143-4, R. 6144-1, R. 6144-40, D. 6145-67, R. 6145-67-1 and R. 6145-69, the director of the supporting institution sets the single multi-annual global financing plan on behalf of the institutions concerned, following a favourable opinion from the strategic committee and an opinion from the grouping medical commission.

The provisions of this code governing the multiannual global financing plan for establishments, in particular its content, scope and the obligations to review and update it, set out in articles L. 6145-1, R. 6145-11, R. 6145-65, R. 6145-66, R. 6145-66-1, R. 6145-70 and R. 6145-78, apply to the single multiannual global financing plan.

II -The single multi-annual global financing plan is terminated :

1° Either at the initiative of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, if he considers that the conditions under which the single multi-annual global financing plan was drawn up or communicated do not allow the financial situation of the establishments involved in the grouping to be assessed;

2° Or at the request of the director of one of the establishments concerned, in consultation with the management board of that establishment, after obtaining the opinion of the establishment's medical committee and technical committee. The director of the establishment making the request shall inform the strategic committee and the medical committee of the regional hospital grouping before referring the matter to the director general of the regional health agency.

The Director General of the Regional Health Agency sets the terms and conditions for withdrawal from the scheme and determines, in particular, its effective date, within six months of his decision.

Common Questions

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.
