Updated 6 Nov 2023

I.-The regional hospital grouping may be authorised by the director general of the regional health agency to set up a unified nursing, re-education and medico-technical care commission for the grouping in place of the nursing, re-education and medico-technical care commission for the grouping and the nursing, re-education and medico-technical care commissions for the establishments involved in the grouping.

The request is submitted by the director of the support institution for the regional hospital grouping, in agreement with the directors of the participating institutions, and after receiving the favourable opinion of the grouping's strategic committee, as well as that of the grouping commission and the commissions of all the institutions participating in the regional hospital grouping.

The grouping's unified nursing, rehabilitation and medico-technical care commission is set up at its first meeting, convened within a maximum of six months of authorisation by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency.

II.The grouping's unified nursing, rehabilitation and medico-technical care commission is dissolved by decision of the director general of the regional health agency:

1° Either on the initiative of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, when he observes serious shortcomings or malfunctions in the implementation of the system;

2° Or at the request of the Director of the supporting establishment, in agreement with the Directors of the participating establishments and following a favourable opinion from the grouping's strategic committee and the grouping's unified nursing, rehabilitation and medico-technical care commission.

The Director General of the Regional Health Agency specifies the procedures for dissolution, in particular the date on which it is to take place. This date shall be set within six months of the Director General's decision.

The directors of each of the establishments that are part of the regional hospital grouping shall set up nursing, re-education and medico-technical care committees. The regional hospital grouping shall set up a group nursing, rehabilitation and medico-technical care commission.

Common Questions

Working with a corporate lawyer in France — Q&A

Any time a strategic decision changes how the company is owned, governed or contractually bound — incorporation, fundraising, M&A, restructuring, shareholder agreements, or major commercial contracts. Earlier engagement always costs less than later remediation.

A notary (notaire) is a public officer who authenticates specific deeds (mainly real-estate transfers and certain family-law acts). A corporate lawyer (avocat) advises on strategy, negotiates and drafts company documents, and represents you in disputes. The two roles complement rather than overlap.

Yes — most of our clients are foreign suppliers, investors or holding entities. We bridge the gap between French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.

The SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) is the default choice for most international structures: flexible governance, single shareholder allowed, no minimum capital, and works cleanly with foreign holding entities. We assess SARL, SA, SCI on the merits when the situation calls for it.

Yes — communications with a French avocat are protected by the secret professionnel (Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971). This protection is broader than the common-law attorney-client privilege and applies to written and oral exchanges.

We work on fixed fees for clearly scoped engagements (incorporation, contract drafting, audits) and on monthly retainers for ongoing advisory. Hourly billing is the exception, not the default. You always know the cost before work starts.

Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from KYC kick-off to RCS registration, assuming standard documentation. Holding-company structures, foreign-shareholder identification or in-kind contributions can extend this — we flag the gating items at the first meeting.

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate with your in-house counsel, expert-comptable or notaire — pragmatic collaboration is the norm, not the exception. We send them everything they need to do their part without duplicating work.
