Your lawyer, no intermediaries
No gatekeepers: your lawyer personally follows your file, start to finish. We build a lasting working relationship around your constraints — time zones, travel, urgency — and set the pace together. Wherever you are in the world, reach us by email, phone, Microsoft Teams™ or WhatsApp.
Based in Lyon or the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region? We'll be glad to see you at one of our Lyon offices, near the Préfecture and the courts, or at the Grand Hôtel-Dieu.
Modern tools, working for your case
To keep things simple and flexible, we use the best tools available: collaborative video conferences, electronic signature, enforceable lawyer's deeds, secure file sharing. Your case moves faster — with less friction.
Close a deal, sign from anywhere
A settlement is taking shape in your dispute, or your business sale is imminent? Your lawyer drafts the agreement to match your goals. We review it together on screen, via Microsoft Teams™ or Zoom, and adjust it in real time. Once final, it goes into our DocuSign® workflow for electronic signature — even if the parties are on opposite sides of the world.
Served with a writ? Act fast
A bailiff at your door, a summons before a French court, a formal report? Don't lose a minute: talk it through with your lawyer. If your files are too large for email, drop them on our private OVHcloud servers — encrypted, confidential and temporary, awaiting your lawyer's review.
As early adopters of AI-augmented law, we combine a lawyer's judgement with serious technology. Powered by Claude (Anthropic), enriched with bespoke skills and extensive databases — including fifteen years of our own case law, indexed and refined by our system — MUSE saves precious time and reinvests it where humans are irreplaceable: the relationship of trust, tailored strategy, mediation, building the case through to trial, and support after judgment. The lawyer remains in charge; AI is the instrument — always within the bounds of professional secrecy.
A digital vault, hosted in France
Your documents are often large, and always sensitive. Upload them in a few clicks to our private OVHcloud servers in France: encrypted transfer, confidential and temporary storage. Nothing leaves the country.

Je remercie Maître Amaury PLUMERAULT pour son professionnalisme, sa réactivité et ses précieux conseils. Il a su me rassurer et défendre efficacement mes intérêts. Une relation de confiance s'est installée dès le premier rendez-vous. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Mon rendez-vous s'est super bien déroulé : structuré, professionnel, clair avec un compte rendu dans la journée. Je ne peux que recommander chaudement.
Excellent cabinet d'avocats. Ils sont très professionnels, à l'écoute, humains, empathiques. Ils ne font pas miroiter des victoires irréalistes. C'est un plaisir d'avancer et d'être suivi par une telle équipe !
Très satisfait des conseils et de la réactivité de l'équipe Muse Avocats, dans un litige avec la banque de mon frère handicapé. Je recommande.
