The French Desk is a collaboration between French and international lawyers, specialising in international contract law and commercial and procedural law. Together they have combined their knowledge to help both French and international companies with their legal issues.

Doing business in France

France is one of Europe’s leading trading partners. Many countries in Europe and abroad have imported and exported goods to and from France for years. Also, in the field of investments, important partnerships have been established among French and international companies in the areas of transport and energy. This offers many opportunities for international trade relations.

When doing business in France, you must take into consideration that there is a completely different business culture. The French language is predominant in many companies while English is not always spoken everywhere. That makes doing business a lot more difficult. Moreover, legislation in France can differ from the rules and regulations in your own country.

The lawyers at our French Desk can help French and international companies with their international business disputes. We can ensure that you are prepared for any scenario and that your international contracts are in line with your international ambitions. In the unlikely event of a trade dispute with a French business partner, we ensure that your conflict is resolved as efficiently and practically as possible.

Our lawyers have extensive knowledge and can provide sound and practical advice on international contracts and procedures.
