All legal work is performed or supervised by avocats registered at the Barreau de Paris and subject to the CNB's professional rules.
Every document, opinion and report is drafted in English by a bilingual lawyer — French legal concepts explained, not mangled.
All fees confirmed in a signed convention d'honoraires before work begins. No surprise invoices. Fixed fee where scope allows, capped hourly otherwise.

End-to-end incorporation of a French company — statuts, capital deposit, RNE registration. Operational within 5 business days without setting foot in France.
Distribution contracts, supply contracts, service agreements, NDAs and shareholders' agreements — drafted around the protection French law actually gives, not imported common-law templates.
Abus de majorité, gérant revocation, deadlock resolution, share valuation disputes and injunctions — handled by the team that knows the file.
Bail commercial review, rent indexation, renewal rights, eviction indemnity and property purchase (including SCI formation) — with notaire coordination and DVF price-data assistance.
French succession law applies to assets located in France regardless of where the deceased lived. Under EU Regulation 650/2012 the applicable law can be chosen — with proper advice before it's too late.
Dépôt des comptes annuels at the greffe, with BODACC publication, before the legal deadline. Late or missing filings signal financial difficulty to counterparties.

Four typical situations we handle every week for clients headquartered outside France.
You are setting up a French subsidiary for a foreign group
SAS or SARL? Branch or subsidiary? We map the tax, governance and liability implications for your specific structure, then handle the full incorporation — statuts, capital, RNE filing, Kbis.
You are signing a distribution agreement with a French partner
French distribution law has mandatory protections that override your contract. We identify the clauses that are void under French law and redraft the agreement to reflect what the law actually allows — bilingual version delivered.
A minority shareholder dispute is blocking your company
Abus de majorité, gérant removal and share valuation disputes each have specific legal remedies under French law. We represent you before the tribunal de commerce and negotiate exits before it reaches that stage.
You are inheriting French assets from abroad
French law applies to assets located in France regardless of the deceased's nationality or domicile. EU Regulation 650/2012 allows choice of law — but only with proper planning in advance. We coordinate with the notaire and manage CARPA payments to heirs abroad.
Every engagement is documented in a fee letter (convention d'honoraires) signed before chargeable work begins.
