As part of our collaboration with French law firm Citizen Avocats, our clients have access to litigation and dispute resolution expertise in France.
If your ownership of a business or property in France results in a legal dispute, Citizens Avocats can help you navigate the litigation process. The Bordeaux-based law firm aims to resolve cases quickly, cost-effectively, and without the involvement of courts unless necessary.
Our combined expertise covers all forms of litigation and dispute resolution:
- Commercial contract disputes

- Inheritance disputes
- Intellectual property disputes
- Property litigation
- Shareholder disputes
- Regulatory issues
Citizen Avocats can assist clients with French judicial proceedings in the civil courts (tribunaux d'instance and tribunaux de grande instance) and the specialised jurisdictions that deal with commercial cases (tribunaux de commerce).
In France, court proceedings need to be pleaded by an avocat based in the same region. Citizen Avocats can intervene directly before all tribunals within the Court of Appeal of Bordeaux (including Bordeaux, Angoulême, Périgueux, Bergerac and Libourne) and organise alternative representation in other regions.
If you have a legal dispute in France, Citizen’s lawyers can help you every step of the way - ensuring that the matter progresses as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
