Army hospital interns in training are called "junior doctors" when completing phase 3, known as the consolidation phase, mentioned in article R. 632-20 of the Education Code, and "interns" when completing the phases mentioned in article R. 6193-2.

In application of the provisions of I of article R. 632-49 and of article R. 632-54 of the Education Code, interns and assistants in army hospitals are assigned by the Minister of Defence to the places of training set out in the second paragraph of article L. 632-5 of the same code.

Army hospital interns and assistants who undertake a training period elsewhere than in an army health service establishment remain subject to their status and continue to receive their pay.

Without prejudice to compliance with the obligations set out in the general status of military personnel and the specific provisions set out in this chapter, the provisions of articles R. 6153-1-2, R. 6153-1-4, 2° of article D. 6153-1-8, articles R. 6153-1-19, R. 6153-1-20 and R. 6153-1-22, articles R. 6153-2 to R. 6153-6, 2° of article D. 6153-10-1 and articles R. 6153-29 to R. 6153-40 are applicable to them, with the exception of the provisions of the second paragraph of articles R. 6153-1-20 and R. 6153-40 .

Without prejudice to compliance with the obligations laid down by the general status of military personnel and the specific provisions laid down in this chapter, the provisions of article R. 6153-1-5 and articles R. 6153-2 to R. 6153-2-5 are applicable to them to the full extent compatible with the proper functioning of the service.

The army doctor referred to in article R. 632-50 of the Education Code or the army pharmacist referred to in article D. 633-31 of the same code is involved in the individual interview conducted at the start of phase 3 as well as in the consultation relating to the nature, number and conditions of performance of the procedures that army hospital interns and assistants are able to perform independently under supervision.

When army hospital interns and assistants request authorisation to take part, as part of their internship service obligations and taking into account teaching requirements, in medical on-call duty, this request is subject to the agreement of the competent military authority. The authorisation granted is forwarded to this authority.

The provisions relating to the forwarding of this authorisation to the "conseil de l'ordre" are not applicable.

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.
