Legal notice, terms and personal data

Legal notice

The legal profession is regulated. Professional title granted in France; the profession is governed by the National Internal Regulations (Règlement Intérieur National) of the legal profession and by the rules of the Bar to which the lawyer belongs.

General terms and conditions

Fees and invoicing

Fees are set in a prior written agreement, which specifies their amount, method of calculation and payment schedule, and any success fee. Expenses and disbursements incurred on the client’s behalf are re-invoiced at their exact cost. Fees are charged on a fixed-fee or hourly basis, depending on the nature of the matter, and are set out in the prior agreement; they are subject to value added tax at the rate of 20%.

Booking a meeting records in the firm’s calendar only the data needed to hold the meeting (name, company, email address, telephone number, time). The answers to the qualifying questions submitted in the form are sent to the firm by email and do not pass through the calendar.
