Partner with French Attorneys the next time you or your client plans to conduct business in France. French Law operates quite differently than the American common law system, and can seem much more complex and bureaucratic for someone unfamiliar with the necessary procedures.
As an example, French Corporate Law is based on the French civil law system and the length of contractual documents, drafted by French attorneys subject to French civil law provisions, tends to be considerably shorter than comparable agreements prepared under the common law system.
Another good example of the differences is in Litigation Law. Compared to the USA, there are no juries at Civil hearings and large-scale punitive damages are never awarded, and what is more, class-action suits do not exist. Furthermore, for all comparative intents and purposes, cross-examination of witnesses does not exist either.
