Services tailored to businesses

Our clients’ business is at the heart of our concerns: the particularity of our French law firm consists in precisely studying the activity of our clients, in identifying the risks and opportunities attached for each operation and thus to deliver tailor-made advice and documentation.

Billand & Messié Lawyers are thus distinguished by increased availability at all stages of the operation and demonstrate flexibility with regard to the time taken to deal with the matters.

An independent business law firm

Our lawyers defend the interests of their clients without compromise, both in terms of advice (acquisitions, fundraising, commercial contracts, etc.) and in commercial litigation. The independence of the firm also allows our lawyers to have the necessary freedom of action and to decide on the most relevant strategies.

English speaking lawyers

Our lawyers have gained their experience from reputable international law firms and had professional experiences in common-law jurisdictions; all our lawyers are fluent in French and English.

A direct and transparent client-lawyer relationship

Our law firm guarantees its clients direct and regular contact with a partner in charge of the matter. We strongly believe that this is the guarantee of qualitative services. The partners guide their clients during all stages of the operations and remain personally available throughout the processing of the case as to ensure a smooth and proactive follow-up.

Our fees are based on a capped fee package or on an hourly rate, at the client’s choice and depending on the specificities of the case. The firm also practices success fees to fully align its interests with those of its clients.

Fees or estimates are in any event determined before the engagement of the mission, thus favoring a predictability of the total and final cost of our interventions. A first meeting dedicated to acquainting with the file, allowing precise quantification of our fees and a description of the work to be carried out, is systematically offered by the firm.
