I. - The army hospitals located within the remit of the Ile-de-France regional health agency and the Institution nationale des invalides (National Invalids Institution) cooperate on the activities mentioned in 1° of II of article L. 6147-7 and in 2° and 4° of article L. 621-2 of the code des pensions militaires d'invalidité et des victimes de guerre (Military Invalidity and Victims of War Pensions Code).

II. - An agreement submitted to the Board of Directors of the Institution Nationale des Invalides for approval and signed by the Minister for Defence and the Chairman of the aforementioned Board of Directors defines the conditions of this cooperation, and in particular:

1° A partnership medical project enabling the joint care of patients falling within the scope of the code mentioned in I and participation in studies and research into the fitting of equipment for the disabled;

2° The composition of a strategic committee responsible for giving its opinion on the implementation of the agreement and the partnership medical project. This strategic committee may set up a select committee to which it may delegate all or part of its powers;

3° The procedures for setting up joint medical teams and, where appropriate, inter-institutional centres.

III. - Within the framework of this cooperation, information concerning a person cared for by an army hospital mentioned in I or the Institution nationale des invalides may be shared between these establishments, under the conditions set out in article L. 1110-4.

IV. - The terms and conditions for the application of this article, in particular those relating to the preparation of the partnership medical project and the composition of the strategic committee, are set by decree in the Conseil d'Etat.

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.
