Business Law

Approach

As a law firm primarily designed to respond to the needs of small businesses, we have a binary approach to our work at Cabinet Barbey. Whilst catering efficiently and professionally to our clients’ immediate needs (drafting contracts or terms and conditions, managing litigation, for example), we simultaneously invest in the strategic well-being and development of their company.  

We therefore bring rapid and simple responses, often orally, to legal questions that arise in our clients’ professional lives whilst taking into consideration their ongoing commercial, technical and employment needs. Faced with a complicated commercial relationship or questions surrounding the legal risks of a situation, big companies turn to in-house lawyers for legal advice.

It is just as important that small businesses receive precise answers to their questions. This is a service that we offer.
