your questions
AGN helps you answer your legal questions
Do you have a question related to business law? You may find the answer here.
What is the role of a commercial lawyer for professionals and businesses?
Contrary to popular belief, the primary role of a commercial lawyer is not to litigate, but to advise clients on their rights and options.
Our lawyers are trained in all forms of mediation and conciliation. They always seek the most pragmatic solutions, with a view to achieving the desired outcome as efficiently as possible.
When litigation is unavoidable, our lawyers can of course assist you in all types of proceedings.
How can professionals and businesses consult a business law lawyer?
You can make an appointment with a business law lawyer directly on our website, or by telephone on 09 72 34 24 72 (cost of a local call), Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm.
A lawyer will then meet with you at one of our offices or via videoconference as soon as possible (usually within 48 hours).
How much does a business law lawyer cost for professionals and businesses?
The fee for the first appointment is €120 including VAT for professionals. At the end of this appointment, the lawyer who met with you may offer you additional support. Transparency in our fees is an essential rule. Like all service providers, we inform you of our rates before any commitment is made, and all our rates are fixed. Each lawyer who is a member of the AGN Avocats network is committed to the principle of transparency in fees and to providing a fee agreement before any services are provided.
You are, of course, free to accept or refuse the fee agreement offered to you.
What level of service does a commercial lawyer provide to professionals and businesses?
The AGN Avocats network is made up of lawyers who wish to participate in an innovative network of lawyers driven by shared values and working closely with their clients. This is why all members of the AGN Avocats network are committed to offering their clients high-quality services with a constant focus on consistency across the country, while charging fees that are tailored to their clients. AGN Lawyers believe that the social progress brought about by the legal profession should inspire their daily interactions with their clients, both when meeting with them and when providing legal advice and support.
