Join us

A firm is built with those who arrive.

We regularly take on associates, in-house lawyers and trainee lawyers on their final placement, in Bayonne as in Pau. The firm trains people on transactions rather than on tasks: from the first year, you draft documents, you follow a sale file, you go to the hearing.

Speculative applications are read and receive a reply. Set out your background and what interests you in our practice — advising company directors, transactions, business litigation.
