SELARL WIBAULT AVOCAT

What SELARL WIBAULT AVOCAT does

SELARL WIBAULT AVOCAT is a French boutique law firm (Société d'Exercice Libéral à Responsabilité Limitée) specializing in collective insolvency procedures, real estate seizures, banking law, and enforcement proceedings. The firm was founded by Maître François-Xavier WIBAULT and is headquartered in Arras with three additional offices across the Douai Court of Appeal jurisdiction in La Madeleine (Lille Bar), Douai, and Valenciennes. Its core service portfolio covers debt recovery, banking law defense for institutional clients, real estate seizure proceedings, collective procedures (mandat ad hoc, sauvegarde, redressement, liquidation judiciaire), business criminal defense, postulation services for external barristers before Douai appeal courts, and judicial property auction representation.

The firm's primary clients are institutional in nature, including banking institutions, surety companies (sociétés de cautionnement), judicial administrators (mandataires judiciaires), and external barristers requiring postulation in the Douai Court of Appeal jurisdiction. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billing under standard French legal fee structures, with prior written estimates (devis préalable) provided before engagement. The firm operates with a team of 5 specialized lawyers, each bringing complementary expertise in banking law, real estate, collective procedures, and business criminal defense, with several members having prior in-house experience at banking institutions and judicial administrators' offices.

The firm operates independently with no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue. Its technology footprint is limited to a professional website (avocats-wibault.fr) featuring practice area descriptions, team profiles, judicial property sale listings, and a specialized calculator for proportional fees and mutation duties, supplemented by a LinkedIn corporate page. Geographic operations are concentrated in the Hauts-de-France region, though the firm indicates it can intervene across the entire national territory when required. The firm has explicitly signaled ongoing expansion intent with planned additional secondary offices within the Douai Court of Appeal jurisdiction.
