Hospital practitioners may apply for posts for which vacancies have been published.

During the assignment search period, the Director General of the Centre National de Gestion will send hospital practitioners firm and precise offers of public employment, corresponding to their personalised career development plan and taking into account their family situation and usual place of residence. To this end, it sends the practitioner's curriculum vitae and personalised career development plan to the heads of the establishments mentioned in article R. 6152-1 whose vacant hospital practitioner posts or posts likely to become vacant have not yet been published or have not been filled after publication. The head of the hospital sends his reply, together with the proposal of the head of the department or, failing that, the head of the internal structure, and the opinion of the chairman of the hospital medical committee, within one month of being notified of these documents. Reasons must be given for any refusal.

The Director General of the Centre National de Gestion will send the practitioner the job offers sent by the establishments. If the interested party does not reply within ten days of the date of notification of these proposals, his silence will be considered as a refusal. In the event of acceptance of one of the proposals sent to him/her, the Director General of the Centre National de Gestion appoints the practitioner to the post in question, without publication of the vacancy or consultation of the National Statutory Commission.

A practitioner who successively refuses three offers of employment made under the conditions defined above is placed in a position of compulsory availability, under the conditions provided for in article R. 6152-62, or admitted to retirement if he fulfils the necessary conditions.

The hospital practitioner may resign during the period of search for an assignment, in accordance with the provisions of article R. 6152-97, without being required to continue his duties for a maximum period of six months from the date of notification of acceptance of his resignation.

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.
