The real estate attorney is subject to the ethical rules of his Bar. He is bound by an obligation of legal advice, which distinguishes him from a real estate agent.
The real estate mandate signed between the lawyer and his client must expressly provide for the amount of the lawyer's fees. In the event of failure, only the acts performed will give rise to remuneration.
Maître Emmanuelle CERF is recognized as an agent in real estate transactions by the Paris Bar.
Since the Hoguet law, lawyers have the possibility of exercising the activity of agent in real estate transactions without fulfilling the conditions required for real estate agents "in consideration of the control to which their professional activity is subject as well as the financial guarantees that they offer for the exercise of this activity ”.
It was the Council of the Bar Association of Paris, on April 21, 2009, which adopted a new article in the internal regulations authorizing lawyers to "exercise the activity of agent in real estate transactions within the limits set by the law. "Thus, a lawyer must" respect the essential principles of his profession and the rules of conflict of interest; he can only intervene for one of the parties and will only receive fees from that party "(article P.6.2.0.4).
