FAQ
Practical answers to help prepare your decision and your first discussion with the firm.
Discuss my situationAs soon as you have a draft lease, before committing. Prepare the draft, its annexes, your intended activity and the planned signing date. Within the agreed engagement, the firm can examine the permitted use, rent and rent reviews, charges, works and exit conditions.
Gather the lease, amendments, recent rent notices and correspondence. State the end date and your objective: continuing the activity, negotiating or leaving. Renewal and tacit continuation are distinct situations under French law; reviewing the documents and dates helps determine the appropriate steps.
Whether you are the landlord or tenant, prepare the lease, a detailed statement of amounts, payment evidence and relevant exchanges. If you have received a formally served demand for payment or summons, mention its receipt date in your first enquiry. The firm reviews the situation and deadlines before proposing an appropriate negotiated or judicial approach.
Identify what is being sold, review the lease, main contracts and available financial information, and organise the necessary documents and formalities. Prepare the offer or draft agreement, available records and planned timetable. An acquisition within insolvency proceedings requires specific support.
Gather the accepted quotation or contract, order, invoice, proof of delivery or service and customer correspondence. Specify the due date, partial payments and any dispute. These elements help assess the claim, the steps already taken and the appropriate recovery route.
Summarise the events chronologically, the decisions taken and your objective. Prepare the articles and any shareholder agreement for a shareholder conflict, or the contract and amendments for a commercial dispute. As a lawyer, Claire SUN represents her client’s interests and examines negotiation or litigation options. Her mediation work is a separate role.
A few lines are enough: your role, the subject of the enquiry, your objective and any known deadlines. Avoid sensitive information in this first message. The firm will then explain which documents are useful and how to provide them. Making contact does not mean an engagement has been accepted.
