Prouvost & Associés, notaries

What Prouvost & Associés, notaries does

Prouvost & Associés, notaires is a French notarial firm operating under the regulated French notary regime, structured as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (S.A.S.) with two offices — a historic headquarters in Roubaix established in 1675 and a second office opened in Paris in 2018. The firm employs more than 50 collaborators including 23 specialized notaires distributed across four practice poles: Notariat Traditionnel (residential real estate, family acts), Patrimoine familial (family wealth management and generational transmission), Affaires & sociétés (corporate structuring, M&A, fundraising), and Immobilier professionnel (commercial real estate, urban planning, legal audits). Services are delivered through in-person appointments at both offices, supplemented by digital tools including electronic authentic deeds, secure videoconference signing, an electronic document safe, and a private client dataroom.

The firm serves four primary customer segments: private individuals handling property transactions and family events; families and family business owners seeking wealth optimization and intergenerational transfer (with specialization in Pacte Dutreil structuring and philanthropy); businesses and entrepreneurs requiring M&A, corporate structuring, and shareholder agreements; and real estate professionals engaged in complex commercial property transactions and development projects. The marketing approach is relationship-based, supported by a LinkedIn corporate presence and inclusion in the official Notaires de France portal.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees regulated by French law (Law n°2015-990, decree n°2016-230, arrêté du 26 février 2016), with the firm offering structured remissions on certain operations — including 20–40% reductions on Pacte Dutreil social rights transfers above specified thresholds. The client base is diversified across segments and geographies in Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France, with no named anchor customers disclosed in available sources.
