A lawyer, an attorney counsel, but not only.

Do you have a project or situation to manage in France and a thousand questions, often without answers?
The procedures are unclear, the people you need to talk to are inaccessible, and the vocabulary is incomprehensible.

You feel lonely, and sometimes even invisible.

And yet, all you need is someone who truly understands you.
Someone who speaks your language, who knows your references, your codes, your expectations.

My name is Sara Byström, and I am a member of the Paris Bar.
Originally from Sweden and fluent in three languages (French, English, and Swedish), I have been living and working in France for over 30 years.
My background is a blend of cultures, disciplines, and passions, and it is precisely these intersections that are my strength today.

I become a real point of contact in France for my clients .
I help them find their way, understand, and make decisions with confidence.
Above all, I prevent them from feeling lost, misinformed, or misunderstood.

Rigorous, human support, deeply tailored to your reality.

I explain. I translate. I represent.
I adapt to your language, your culture, your constraints.
And I take the time to listen, to find the right solution at the right time.

My clients often tell me:

“You are our right-hand woman.”
“You have thought of everything.”
“You were able to express what I couldn't put into words.”

Need additional expertise?
I draw on my network of trusted international network of partners (notaires, specialized attorneys,brokers, certified public accountants, real estate experts, bailiffs, ushers, etc.).
Together, we'll always find the best way to serve you.

And to those who ask me, "What is your specialty?"
I reply:

My specialty is adaptability.

My studies taught me about the law, legal rules, and legal structures.

My experience working for an international company has given me hands-on experience with the practical application of the law and teamwork.

As for my personality, my keen sense of observation, my sensitivity, and my cultural perspective, they all stem from my personal history.
I come from a family where the arts play a major role.

My father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother were all painters, so I grew up in their studios, surrounded by paintings and other works of art, immersed in creativity.

Other forms of artistic expression, especially music and singing, were also very much a part of our lives, as my uncles, cousins, and female cousins were all involved in them.

This environment instilled in me, from a very early age , an eye for detail, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to listen.

When I was little, I played the violin, painted, and sewed, before later discovering Japanese calligraphy with my teacher, Hiroko Kimura—Kimura-san.

This wonderful and elegant art of ink drawing requires patience, precision, and discipline.

Qualities that I find useful in my work as a lawyer today.

All of these artistic traditions and practices shape the way I perceive things and people and guide my approach to my work.

My creative work further enhances my cultural sensitivity and my attention to the unique aspects of each situation and each of my clients’ projects.

And then there’s craft beer*. Yes, you read that right.
It’s a family story, too: my ancestor Johan Alfred Sandwall opened Sweden’s first “pilsner” brewery in 1862.
Today, I’m active in the association Les Buveuses de Bière, where I pass onthat same passion for precision, sharing, and a commitment to quality…but in a glass.

I also lead “Craft & Craft” workshops there, where we get hands-on (knitting, sewing, drawing, etc.) while sampling the latest creations. It’s the perfect way to bring all my traditions together!

I’m a lawyer, but I don’t just practice law.
I help you move forward and ensure the security of your situation or project in a country where the rules are often different from your own—and often more complex.
I translate, I explain, I protect, I make things possible.

I am your strategic advisor in France , and I turn complexity into clarity and uncertainty into decision-making.

I’ll provide personalized support, assistance and advice, always specifically tailored to your needs and preferences !

I'm in full control of your file throughout our cooperation so you can relax.

I take care of everything for you, just like a “family office” does !

And I do this with solid expertise, a genuine capacity to listen and understand with my true passion for people, and that extra touch of heart that algorithms will never be able to replace.

Every situation is unique,
and every project deserves personalized attention.
Let’s discuss it together!
