Banking Law

Banking law has many facets: ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of account agreements, starting with charges.

It also covers loan agreements (interest rates, forfeiture) and related guarantees such as bonding or deposit agreements.

Payment methods (bank cards, transfers) and their security against fraud.

Our lawyers can advise you on all these technical matters. 

Unfair competition & parasitism

Have you noticed that a well-known or newly-established competitor is committing behaviour or acts likely to compromise your business or reputation? We will look into every aspect of potential parasitism or unfair competition and draw up an action plan to protect your interests.

Professional liability

Whether you are a craftsman or a freelance entrepreneur, you are sometimes bound by peculiar obligations. Depending on the extent of your obligations, you may be held liable.

Consult us so that we can take action before any dispute arises or to help you resolve an ongoing dispute.

Should you be summoned to appear in court, we will work with you to defend your interests throughout the proceedings.

Business assets

One of the first steps into or out of an entrepreneurial career is often acquiring a business.

Business asset transactions are complex, as entrepreneurs must take care to comply with a strictly regulated process: negotiations, accounting, diagnostics, lease agreement, transfer of licence(s), registration with the tax authorities and RCS, escrow, etc. 

At MUSE AVOCATS, our lawyers work together seamlessly to provide you with a comprehensive solution for a successful business start-up!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions
The following is a selection of the most frequently asked questions. Whether you require further information, please use the contact form or the chat module at the bottom of the page.

Qu'est-ce qu'un collectif d'avocats, et en quoi diffère-t-il d'un cabinet traditionnel ?

Un collectif réunit des avocats indépendants qui mettent leurs compétences en commun, chacun maître de sa matière, sans la lourdeur d'une grande structure.

Vous conservez un interlocuteur unique, tout en bénéficiant en coulisses de l'ensemble des expertises.

Là où un avocat isolé doit parfois vous réorienter, le Collectif MUSE traite votre dossier de bout en bout.

Dans quels domaines le Collectif MUSE intervient-il ?

En conseil comme en contentieux : droit commercial et baux commerciaux, droit bancaire, droit immobilier et de la construction, droit fiscal, droit pénal, droit de la famille et du patrimoine.

Chaque matière dispose de sa page dédiée, dont vous pouvez prendre connaissance en cliquant dans la barre de menu qui figure en-tête.

Mon litige relève de plusieurs matières : comment est-il pris en charge ?

C'est la vocation même d'un collectif. Un contentieux entre associés mêle droit des sociétés, commercial et fiscalité ; un dossier immobilier croise construction, baux et patrimoine.

Vous confiez le tout à un Avocat référent qui mobilise autour de lui les compétences utiles et ses associés : un seul dossier, une seule stratégie.

Comment saurai-je quel avocat sera mon interlocuteur ?

Dès l'ouverture du dossier, un avocat référent vous est désigné selon la dominante de votre affaire.
Il reste votre interlocuteur tout du long et coordonne, au besoin, ses associés avec qui vous pourrez échanger à votre convenance.

Comment être certain de confier mon dossier au bon avocat ?

C'est l'objet de la première consultation : exposer votre situation, pièces à l'appui, pour identifier la matière concernée et la stratégie adaptée.

Si votre dossier appelle une autre compétence, nous vous orientons en interne, sans démarche supplémentaire de votre part.

Le Collectif intervient-il hors de Lyon, et à l'international ?

Établis à Lyon, nous intervenons dans toute la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et partout en France.

Nos outils numériques nous permettent d'accompagner une clientèle éloignée ou internationale — notamment anglophone, en Suisse, au Royaume-Uni, aux États-Unis ou au Canada.

La distance n'est plus un obstacle.
