What Floyd Avocats offers English speakers in Nice

Floyd Avocats built its practice around English and Russian speaking clients and says so directly. Alongside the Nice office it has addresses in Cannes, London, Malta and Paris. The work clusters around French property law for foreign owners: buying, disputes with a seller or a tenant, immigration and residency, setting up a business, and inheritance where the deceased and the heirs sat in different countries. Post-Brexit visa and residency routes come up constantly, as does Franco-British succession and how it meets the English probate process.

Benjamin Kergueno handles most of the files described, and two habits are worth knowing. He gives work away when it is not his: one client was told the matter was simple enough for a notaire to handle alone, and referred there. And the office certifies documents, so a passport certified for a UK house sale, or French papers authenticated for use abroad, can be dealt with here instead of hunted for. First consultations have been free for some callers, replies arrive quickly, and one rental dispute got a considered answer on a Sunday. English is the default with foreign clients and Joanna Dawson runs the administrative side in it too. Several clients note that no time is billed without real work behind it, which is a specific claim rather than a general compliment.
