Your guarantees as client
A regulated framework. Strong protection.
A profession regulated by law
As a lawyer and Attorney Counsel registered with the French Bar Association in Paris, I am bound by:
- absolute professional secrecy
- an obligation of independence and loyalty
- a strict code of ethics
- mandatory continuing education
- the National Internal Regulations of the profession
These rules are not symbolic.
They are legally enforceable and monitored.
Double protection
Two mandatory insurance policies form the basis of your security:
Professional liability insurance covering every piece of advice, consultation, assistance, mandate, or representation.
A specific guarantee for the management of entrusted funds, governed by law.
This framework is provided for in particular by the Act of December 31, 1971, and by the professional rules applicable to lawyers.
Independence and absence of conflicts of interest
A lawyer may only act in strict compliance with the rules on conflicts of interest.
In a dispute or legal proceeding, I can represent only one of the opposing parties.
This requirement protects your interests and ensures a fair and independent defense.
In the context of non-contentious legal services (such as drafting contracts, etc.), two parties may choose me as their sole and shared representative. In such cases, I must ensure a balance between the interests at stake.
A key difference compared to a legal consultant or legal advisor
The legal profession is supervised, regulated, and insured.
In France, it is illegal for a “freelance lawyer” or “legal consultant” to provide legal advice. Those who do so face severe penalties.
If you seek legal advice from them, you have no guarantee of their competence (there is no verification of their credentials, whether their training is up to date, etc.), nor are you covered by insurance. Unlike lawyers, they are not subject to disciplinary oversight.
Only lawyers that are Attorney Counsels at a French Bar are authorized to provide legal consultations and advice in France.
When you choose a lawyer, you are choosing:
- legal certainty
- professional liability
- confidentiality
- and a protective framework for your interests
A guarantee reinforced by international experience and French diplomas
Beyond the regulatory framework, I offer you:
- an understanding of Swedish, Scandinavian, French, and American cultures
- a practice accustomed to truly international environments
- the ability to explain French law, rules and customs and their application, all in your own language
- a comprehensive, 360-degree strategic approach
Your protection does not rely solely on the lawyer’s Attorney Counsel's legal guarantee.
It also relies on foresight, strategy, methodology, and experience, in addition to the requirement for continuing education to ensure we always stay up to date as law is constantly changing.
Security for peace of mind
A lawyer's Attorney Counsel's guarantee is not limited to a formal obligation.
It allows you:
- to make informed decisions
- to limit legal and financial risks
- to move forward with confidence
- and focus on your projects rather than uncertainty
