Ordre des Avocats des Pyrénées-Orientales

What Ordre des Avocats des Pyrénées-Orientales does

The Ordre des Avocats des Pyrénées-Orientales (also known as the Barreau des Pyrénées-Orientales or Barreau de Perpignan) is a French professional bar association (ordre professionnel) established under French law to regulate the practice of law in the Pyrénées-Orientales department. Headquartered at the Palais de Justice and the Maison de l'Avocat (6 rue de l'Ange) in Perpignan, the organization is attached to the Tribunal Judiciaire de Perpignan and governs 347 active lawyers plus 37 honorary lawyers. Its core functions include admission and discipline of member lawyers, oversight of professional standards, and operation of a public-facing lawyer directory searchable by specialty and location.

The association's service offering spans a public website (avocats-pyrenees-orientales.com) with an online lawyer directory (Annuaire), a member-only portal (Espace Avocats), property auction listings (Vente aux enchères), news feeds (Actualités), and classifieds (Annonces). It also coordinates public-interest services including a free victim assistance hotline (0801 904 104), legal aid administration (aide juridictionnelle), duty counsel appointments, and participation in CDAD 66 access-to-justice points across Perpignan, Prades, Céret, Rivesaltes, Latour-de-France, and other locations. Its revenue mechanics are based on recurring membership fees (cotisations) paid by the 347 registered lawyers and on the management of client funds through CARPA (Caisse des Règlements Pécuniaires des Avocats), the latter also funding legal aid and connected to the national UNCA network.

Leadership for 2026 consists of Bâtonnier François PECH de LACLAUSE and Vice-Bâtonnière Christine RESPAUT, supported by a Secrétaire Général (Mandy MASVIDAL), Secrétaire Général Adjoint (Olivier MASSOT), Trésorier (Rostom BENSETTI), and Trésorier Adjoint (Yann SANCERRY). The organization is not a commercial enterprise and is governed by elected representatives of its members rather than investors; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed in the available data.
