Our firm
OUR philosophY
Most of our clients come into contact with the firm through other clients or other economic stakeholders who know the firm from having worked with it (notaries, lawyers, bankers, colleagues, etc.).
After an initial telephone contact aimed at specifying the client's needs and sector of activity, we propose an appointment with the partner whose area of expertise is best suited to the specific nature of the case.
During this first meeting, the client is given an engagement letter and the general terms and conditions governing relations with the firm. In addition to the fact that these documents are now imposed by our Institute, they allow us to precisely delimit our scope of intervention and the functioning of the professional relationship.
