Areas of Expertise and Philosophy
The fields of expertise of this Law firm mainly consist of topics related to real estate,
thus:
- tenancy law

- property and neighbour law
but also:
- debt recovery and bankruptcy law

Through the years, a strong friendship was born and a grand professional appreciation and esteem evolved, often leading the two lawyers to discuss a future professional partnership in their practice of the Bar.
In 2015, Me Jean-Philippe FERRERO created the Etude FERRERO AVOCAT. After 5 years of practice and the firm expanding exponentially, the partnership mentioned above was created on January 1st 2021.
These two experts in tenancy and real estate law are looking to offer an appropriate and personalised service to clients, by putting their experience from the Bar, Magistracy and from being part of a real estate agency to the benefit of clients as much private as institutional.
It is therefore in a peaceful and professional environment, while keeping a simple structure, that they wish not only to defend the interests of their clients in court but also to provide advice in terms of contract conclusion, administrative law, transactional agreements, negotiations, all fields in which they both benefit from a solid reputation.
This pragmatic and efficient approach, but also not forgetting costs, allows the firm to offer its services on the basis of justified fees, adaptable to circumstances
