LLA Avocats

What LLA Avocats does

LLA Avocats is an independent Paris-based business law firm headquartered at 30 rue de Miromesnil in the 8th arrondissement, serving company directors, SMEs, mid-sized firms (ETI), and international clients in contentious and advisory matters across five complementary practice areas: business law (droit des affaires), corporate insolvency (entreprises en difficulté), labor law (droit social), public/administrative law (droit public), and tax law (droit fiscal). The firm was founded in 2013 by Pierre Ladreit de Lacharrière, a former administrative magistrate with 25+ years on the bench including at the Cour administrative d'appel de Paris, and today operates with three partners (Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, Johanna Seror — who also holds a New York bar admission — and Pierre) and approximately six total staff. The firm handles matters before all Paris-based jurisdictions (Tribunal de commerce, Tribunal judiciaire, Cour d'appel, Tribunal administratif) and accepts cross-border mandates, with bilingual French/English capability.

The firm's core offering is partner-led legal representation: clients engage directly with one of the three named partners from first contact through resolution, with no delegation to associates, and the firm commits to a response within 24 business hours. Revenue is generated entirely from professional service fees — a 300€ HT (360€ TTC) initial consultation, followed by hourly billing, fixed-fee packages, or mixed (fixed + success fee) structures per matter, all governed by a written convention d'honoraires as required by French law. Client acquisition is sales-led and digital-first, driven by an SEO-optimized website, an extensive French-language publications library covering all five practice areas, and a Google Business Profile carrying 120+ verified reviews at a 4.9/5 average.

There is no proprietary technology, no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed financial figures. The firm is mid-transition into an AARPI structure (a French professional association form that assigns individual professional liability to each partner). Its economic value is concentrated in the human capital and case-track record of its three partners — including publicly disclosed outcomes such as cancellation of a €480,000 VAT reassessment, a €1.1M transfer pricing result at the Conseil d'État, and a €2,981,810 documentary-credit victory at the Cour d'appel de Douai in March 2026.
