The story of Mr Grumpy

This is the story of Mr Grumpy who knows everything about everything....

Deciding whether to accept the initiation of legal proceedings can be a lengthy process.

It is not always easy to call on a lawyer for all the acts of a company's life because of the cost that this can represent.

As a professional, we first listen and try to identify the needs of our client or a future client.

Let's not be in a hurry, let's inform them as best we can about the procedure to be initiated (its risks, its length, the chances of winning the case) or about the need to do so. support to avoid the occurrence of difficulties.

Mr. Grumpy, who thinks he knows everything, has many adventures:

- Counsel, I had not paid attention to the duration of the non-competition clause that I inserted in the contract of my employee's work. What do I risk now?

- I have contested my URSSAF debt, I should have asked for a payment plan but it is too late. What should I do?

- Oh no, Master, I only provided a quote and not a contract with penalties for late payment. Should I have drawn up a contract?

- Counsel, I was aware of a case of harassment in my company but I did nothing. Should I have conducted an investigation and laid off the employee concerned?

- Master, I do not plan to undertake the structural work on my tenant's commercial premises? Is this possible?

All these examples show how irreversible certain situations can be.

Mr. Grumpy has understood this, he has legal support, has increased his turnover and is even thinking of changing his name! (he has also asked his lawyer for advice...).

 

Your first decision will now be to seek support to increase your success without any hindrance!

Frequently asked questions

Is a lawyer required to draft a sales contract between professionals?

No, it is not mandatory, but a lawyer secures the contract by verifying essential clauses (price, deadlines, guarantees, dispute resolution). This avoids divergent interpretations and subsequent litigation.

Can I do without a lawyer for a dispute with a client?

Yes, you can initiate proceedings alone before the commercial court if the amount is less than €10,000 (simplified procedure). But beyond that, the assistance of a lawyer is mandatory. A lawyer maximizes your chances of success.

What are the deadlines to consult a lawyer after a legal problem?

It is advisable to consult as soon as the problem arises, because limitation periods (often 5 years) run. For a formal notice, act within 8 days of the dispute. A lawyer will help you not to miss deadlines.

How much does a lawyer consultation for a company cost?

A first consultation costs between €100 and €300 depending on the lawyer. Some offer a free 30-minute consultation. For regular follow-up, an annual flat fee may be more economical.

What to do if my lawyer does not suit me?

You can change lawyers at any time, subject to paying the fees due. It is important to choose a lawyer specialized in business law. Do not hesitate to request an initial meeting to assess the relationship.

Excellent solicitor whom I highly recommend. She resolved a very complex matter for me involving a co-ownership association and its managing agent, with a clear strategy. After consulting with numerous solicitors without result, she was the only one who truly took the time to analyse the situation in depth and build a genuine strategy. Responsive, rigorous and very committed, you can trust her implicitly. Thank you Maître Zakine.

I recommend Master Cécile ZAKINE for any real estate law matter. She accompanied me in a dispute against my property developer with professionalism. Throughout the proceedings, she provided me with detailed explanations at each stage, allowing me to fully understand the progress of my case. Her responsiveness was much appreciated, responding quickly to my questions, which was very reassuring during this stressful period. I also appreciated her regular follow-up with appropriate updates without having to constantly request them.

I made an appointment with Maître Zakine for a 1-hour consultation in his office. I needed clarification regarding a dispute with my trustee. Punctual and courteous, Maître Zakine took my problem into consideration and proved to be very professional, giving me excellent advice. I initially thought that we would have covered the issue in half an hour; but the hour ultimately passed quickly. To be recommended without reservation.
