When developing your business in France, not fully mastering the language or being unfamiliar with French bureaucracy and procedures can put your business venture at an unnecessary disadvantage.

You can benefit from my bilingual capacity in French and English and my City of London and French professional experience, to enhance your business prospects and protect your interests.

Get the best out of negotiations, meetings, professional appraisal meetings and any context where you may not fully master a situation on your own.

Contracts

With an unparalleled experience in drafting and reviewing contracts of any level of complexity and in both English and French, I create the essential documents that can protect your company and help you make the most of your business opportu- nities.

Incorporation / expanding your Business

If you are planning to start a business in France or to extend your business or trade I can advise and guide you through all the stages of the procedure.

I also offer supervision of your interests when you deal with a bank, an insurer and/or a Public Notary, for example when you purchase business premises.

Litigation

Should you encounter a contentious issue, either private or professional, I employ the most effective strategy possible to build your case to its optimum and to fully defend your interests.

Defence in Court

I defend your interests before a variety of courts : tribunal judiciaire, conseil de prud'hommes, cour d'appel (all levels of jurisdiction).

Working with you

I hold meetings in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and am easy to reach by telephone and Internet and nowadays frequently conduct visio-meetings with clients and courts.

I ensure that meetings are organized as rapidly as possible, and I keep my clients fully informed on the progress of their file.

At the outset, I supply a written engagement concerning my billing procedure, and the method used to calculate my fees.
