French Property law

We assist clients buying or selling French real-estate. As independent legal advisers we protect your interests during the conveyancing process.

Contract-drafting / review

When drafting a real-estate purchase and sale agreement, it is important that each party knows exactly what is expected of them. Our experience in contract drafting ensures that your best interests remain protected throughout the entire contract process. If a contract already exists, we will carefully review the legal paperwork and either give you a confirmation as to whether it is legally sound, or talk you through the documentation, flag up potential issues, suggest new, protective wording, as appropriate.
