Building, establishing, or even acquiring a construction company in France requires to be well counselled and guided.

The intervention of a French lawyer specialised in the field of construction is essential in order to optimise and secure the various operations of your project, as only such a lawyer is aware of and masters the hasards and difficulties linked to this sector of activity.

The role of an attorney specialised in the field of construction is to advise you to deal with the different interlocutors to the operation in hand and to resolve difficulties that are specific to the French market and culture.
The following are the principal points to be delt with :

- those related to the contract signed between you and the architect : the latter will often try to limit his contractual responsability,

- those created when confronting the ?French bureaucracy? (city hall, DDE, B?timents de France...), namely when asking for a demolition permit, permit to divide into lots, building permit...

- those related to disputes with construction companies,

- those linked to responsability issues stemming from the application of the French law on subcontracting,

- those generated by construction costs as well as by garanties offered by the different intervenors,- difficulties linked to the nature of some public works contracts in certain construction markets,

- the underlying risks when contracting for the acquisition of real estate.

These are just several examples among many others : taxation, social aspects, or the management of the company which will be created or purchased, are other problematic aspects which merit to be considered.
