CPNC Avocats Lawyers
& Specialists
Founded in 2005, CPNC Avocats has become a trusted name in business law, advising companies in the hospitality, restaurant, and catering sector. That said, we also support businesses of all sizes — from innovative start-ups to long-established family firms. In every case, our mission is simple: to deliver reliable, effective legal solutions tailored to our clients’ goals.
Lawyers for restaurateurs
From Michelin-starred restaurants in upscale Paris neighborhoods to festival food trucks and mountain village bars, the spectrum of restaurant operators is vast. This market is undergoing profound changes, driven by new entrants and evolving consumer habits. Our in-depth industry experience and deep knowledge of the restaurant trade enable us to meet these challenges and provide you with the highest level of support.
Lawyers for hoteliers
Accommodation establishments, from independent hotels to large chains, sometimes including services such as catering or seminar rooms, are increasingly popular and diverse. We have an in-depth understanding of the legal needs of the hotel industry. CPNC Avocats provides targeted expertise for your business and helps you meet the challenges of the sector.
Lawyers for café managers
Tobacconists, brasseries, hotel bars - there are many places offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and sometimes light catering. We understand your legal issues, such as licence management, tax compliance and health standards. CPNC Avocats offers tailored solutions, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
Lawyers for tobacconists
We support tobacconists in their development with a unique analysis of the profession and its changes. We assist tobacconists in the sale of their business and in their dealings with authorities such as Customs and the Judicial Police. We also handle all procedures with Customs, La Française des Jeux and PMU.
Lawyers for FOOD TECH
Derived from the contraction of the words "FOOD" and "TECHNOLOGY", this term covers all innovative companies in the food sector. Long before the development of this market, we were already supporting all the players in the sector, from production to the end customer: wholesalers, distributors, brewers, etc. These years of experience give us a privileged position to support you in all your endeavours.
Business law, an essential legal framework for companies
Business law governs the economic activities of companies, from their creation to their dissolution. It covers areas such as company law, contract law, tax law and competition law, ensuring the security of transactions and compliance with regulations. Whether drafting contracts, resolving disputes or structuring mergers, it supports companies in their strategic challenges, helping them to grow and survive in local and international markets.

We're looking for motivated, inquisitive people who are ready to get involved in a wide range of complex cases. Whether you're a recent graduate or an experienced professional, we value commitment, rigour and the desire to progress. By joining our team, you will benefit from a stimulating and collaborative environment, ongoing training to develop your skills and a genuine opportunity for professional growth.
Fees
Transparency is at the heart of our relationship with our clients. To ensure a clear and untroubled working relationship, we offer you a range of fee-setting options tailored to your needs and the nature of your case. Whether it's a fee based on time spent, a fixed fee or a fee based on results, each formula is defined precisely and in detail.
This gives you a clear picture of the costs associated with our services. Our aim is to provide you with high-quality legal support, while respecting your budgetary expectations. We remain at your disposal to discuss the options that best meet your needs.
We offer a time-based fee system for our legal services. This method of billing is based on an hourly rate agreed in advance, which reflects the complexity of the case, the level of expertise required and the time actually spent on your case. Each intervention is rigorously recorded, guaranteeing total transparency about the services provided. This approach ensures that you only pay for the work actually carried out, with detailed tracking of hours worked, and is particularly suitable for complex cases or cases where the scope of the work is difficult to assess in advance. We will be happy to discuss the details with you and find the solution best suited to your needs.
In some cases, we offer a results-based fee system, which links our remuneration to the successful outcome of your case. This method of invoicing is based on a prior agreement defining a fixed, often modest, base, as well as a percentage of the gains or savings made as a result of our intervention. This system is particularly suitable for cases involving commercial disputes, compensation or financial negotiations, where the result can be measured clearly and objectively. Transparency and ethics are at the heart of our approach: this method respects the ethical rules of the profession and is subject to a written agreement detailing the conditions and objectives defined together. We remain available to assess your situation and determine whether this formula meets your needs.
We also offer a fixed-fee system, ideal for legal assignments where the scope and duration can be defined in advance. This method of invoicing is based on a fixed global amount agreed at the outset of our collaboration, providing perfect visibility of costs. The lump-sum fee is particularly suitable for services such as drafting contracts, setting up companies or recurring consultancy assignments. This system guarantees total transparency and allows you to control your budget. We will be happy to assess your needs and draw up a clear, personalised quote based on the complexity and nature of your case.
