Written opinion
Legal advice and assistance
A written opinion on a specific question, before the difficulty becomes a dispute.
Your situation
You have to decide, and you do not know what the law allows. A supplier imposes a clause you do not understand. An employee challenges a decision. A partner is not honouring their commitments and you are torn between settling and going to court. Every day of hesitation costs, and a friend’s opinion commits no one.
What we do
We examine your situation against the applicable rules — OHADA law (the uniform business law of West and Central Africa), Senegalese employment law, contract law — and deliver a written opinion. It states what you may do, what you risk, and what we recommend. It is signed, dated, and you can rely on it.
- A one-off consultation on a specific question
- Analysis of a case file or a set of contracts
- Ongoing assistance by subscription, with a quota of services
- Sector monitoring of the rules that concern you

-
You put your question to us
By telephone, through the form, or at a first appointment. We acknowledge receipt within 24 business hours.
-
We scope the work
We tell you what we can do, by when, and at what cost. Nothing begins without your written agreement.
-
We analyse
Research of the applicable rules, review of your documents, internal check by a second lawyer.
-
We deliver the opinion
A written, sourced document, which we talk through with you if you wish.
The deliverable
What you receive
A written legal opinion, dated and signed, citing the rules it relies on. It sets out your options, their consequences, and our reasoned recommendation. It is filed in your client area, where it remains available.

What it costs
Every situation differs, and we do not publish a price that would fit no one. You receive a costed quote before any work begins: it states the amount, the timescale and what is included. Nothing starts without your written agreement.
- A costed quote before any work
- Nothing starts without your written agreement
- Every document filed in your client area
- Quote issued within 48 business hours.

Frequently asked questions
The ones we are asked most often about this area. Yours is not here? Write to us: acknowledgement goes out within 24 business hours.
Write to usHow quickly do we get an answer?
We acknowledge every request within 24 business hours. The time to deliver the opinion depends on complexity: it is stated before we begin, and it appears in your client area.
Do I have to come to the office?
No. The first exchange can take place by telephone or video call, and the opinion is delivered to your client area. An appointment at the office remains available if you prefer.
Does a written opinion carry weight?
It commits its author. That is precisely what distinguishes it from an answer given over the phone: it is dated, signed, and you can produce it.
Can I consult you regularly without opening a new file each time?
Yes — that is the purpose of the assistance subscription: a quota of services per period, whose consumption you follow from your client area.
