Work history
Avocat / Attorney at law
Temple Boyer Legal
2015 – Present (1 year)Paris Area, France
We strongly believe that, nowadays, a lawyer must mix commonly-expected values (such as empathy, availability, responsiveness and honesty) with new qualities that are now required by clients (creativity, adaptability and pragmatism) in order to achieve practical solutions, both legally secure and compliant with operational teams expectations and business constraints.
Law should never slow-down the business process nor lead to inertia but, on the contrary, should be regarded and used as an economic growth lever to any business actor. Consequently, our Credo is to act as a "business partner" as if we were "externalised in-house lawyers", as close as possible to the business needs and expectations.
Our multidisplinary practice areas in business and trade law allow us to answer your needs and address your issues, even the most complex ones.
For any request, please contact us and/or schedule an appointment.
