State judicial agent, Civil procedure

A misplaced investigation file, a deliberation that drags on for two years, an expert report never ordered despite repeated requests... These situations are not simply a matter of annoyance but can constitute a real malfunction in the public justice service. Contrary to popular belief, the state is not immune...

Brokerage, Commercial, business and competition law

Dans notre précédent article, nous avons exploré les règles générales qui encadrent le contrat de courtage en France. Si ces principes de base s’appliquent à de nombreux intermédiaires, certains secteurs d’activité font l’objet d’une réglementation bien plus spécifique et souvent plus protectrice pour le consommateur ou le client professionnel.

When letters go unanswered and your debtor ignores your requests for payment, the bailiff becomes your indispensable ally. This legal professional has essential prerogatives for recovering sums owed. But how exactly does he act in seizure procedures and what are the limits of his powers?
