Welcome to French Law

Finding the right English-speaking French Lawyer

In most countries of the world, lawyers often work in many strikingly different legal fields but nevertheless practice under one or perhaps two professional titles (Attorneys, Solicitors, Barrister etc).

Similarly, in France the practice of law is divided into two distinct professions, that of Avocat and that of Notaire and there are other professions Accountants, Realtors, Estate Agents etc. whose functions are also tightly regulated by French legislative provisions.

Moreover, the number of French professionals who are able to provide comprehensive and comprehensible advice in English is still much more limited than one would think.

Thus the aim of our web portal is to attempt to help you to find the right French Lawyer, specialising in the right field, for your own particular needs and who furthermore is able to correspond in English.

You will find, listed on this page, the principal areas of French Law where we are most commonly asked to suggest a lawyer, but we would be pleased to hear from you (click here to contact us) not only with proposals of fields where you feel we should add a heading but also with your comments on the lawyers listed.

You might also care to put forward suggestions of French lawyers whom you consider we should add to our lists and, subject to our verification and acceptance procedure, it is possible that we will pass on his or her name to enquirers in the future.

It is respectfully made clear that there is no charge whatsoever for our services.

On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that the lawyers to whom such enquiries are passed would, as is perfectly normal, usually charge for their services.

You should obtain, and agree to, an approximation of costs and fees prior to instructing them and no liability whatsoever may be accepted in this respect by our site.
