I.-A health care organisation is eligible for inclusion on the list of local hospitals provided for in article L. 6111-3-1 if it meets all the conditions mentioned in II. A site belonging to a health facility that does not meet the conditions mentioned in II is eligible for inclusion on the list if this site itself meets these conditions.

II.-The conditions of eligibility for inclusion of a health care organisation or an identified site of a health care organisation on the list of local hospitals are as follows:

1° The health care organisation, or the site, cooperates with the health care players in its territory providing primary care as defined in article L. 1411-11 under the conditions set out in article R. 6111-25. This cooperation may, in particular, take the form of private practice or salaried employment, within the local hospital, of healthcare professionals monitoring patients and coordinating healthcare pathways within the outpatient services;

2° The establishment, or the site, carries out a medical activity authorised by the regional health agency in application of the provisions of article L. 6122-1, and is not authorised to carry out surgery or gynaecology-obstetrics in application of the same provisions;

3° The establishment, or the site, offers, as part of its medical activity, a range of care that is not solely intended for the treatment of a specific pathology or a particular population category;

4° The establishment or site offers consultations in several specialities, carried out by doctors practising either on a self-employed basis or as employees or public servants in the establishment or site or in partner health establishments;

It has its own imaging and medical biology technical platforms and telehealth equipment, or has access to them under an agreement, taking into account the resources available in the region. This care offer is complementary to the available outpatient offer and, where appropriate, is consistent with the health project of the territorial professional health community in the territory of the establishment or site;

5° The establishment, or the site, carries out the missions mentioned in 1° to 4° of II of Article L. 6111-3-1, in complementarity with the healthcare services available in the territory it serves.

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.
