When looking for an English speaking lawyer in France and choosing LYS Legal as your legal partner, you are selecting a law firm dedicated to your success. LYS Legal provides seamless and expert legal services to support you and your business in France.
If your legal matter is based in Paris — or you need a lawyer who can appear before Parisian courts, negotiate with French counterparties, or simply meet you face-to-face in the capital — LYS Legal is ideally positioned to help. Our office is located in the 7th arrondissement, steps from the Assemblée Nationale, in one of Paris’s most established professional districts.
As an English-speaking lawyer operating in Paris, I work with a wide range of international clients: British businesses with French subsidiaries, American executives on assignment, Dutch and Belgian companies entering the French market, and individuals from across the English-speaking world who have found themselves navigating a French legal situation they did not expect. What they all have in common is the need for sound legal advice — delivered in plain English, without the language barrier that makes French law so daunting from the outside.
Whether your matter involves a commercial dispute, a contract under French law, an employment issue, or a corporate restructuring, we can represent you effectively in Paris and across France. My practice is small by design: every client works directly with me, not with junior staff.
What we handle for clients in Paris and beyond:
Yes. If you are a foreign company or individual dealing with French legal matters, you are entitled to work with a French lawyer who speaks your language. All legal proceedings in France must be conducted in French, but your lawyer can handle all communication, translation, and representation on your behalf. LYS Legal provides full bilingual support — English and French — for clients across all stages of a legal matter. Feel free to reach out to LysLegal for a consultation.
An English-speaking French lawyer can assist with a broad range of matters, including commercial contracts, corporate law, labour disputes, insolvency proceedings, litigation before French courts, and regulatory compliance. LYS Legal specialises in advising foreign businesses — from contract negotiation through to court representation — entirely in English. Whether you are setting up a subsidiary in France or managing a commercial dispute, we provide end-to-end legal support. Feel free to reach out to LysLegal for a consultation.
Fees depend on the complexity of your matter and the lawyer’s experience, not on the language of instruction. At LYS Legal, we provide transparent fee structures from the outset, so you know exactly what to expect. We offer consultations to assess your situation and outline the likely scope and cost of legal work before any commitment. Feel free to reach out to LysLegal for a consultation.
