Maître Rosenberg is a lawyer who focuses on court proceedings against lawyers and other legal professionals, such as notaries and judicial officers. Practice in this field requires sound knowledge of French liability law and lawyers' professional rules.
LAWYERS' LIABILITY TOWARDS THEIR CLIENTS
A lawyer may incur liability under French non-contractual civil liability law for a fault or breach committed towards a client. Like notaries, judicial officers, and other self-employed members of regulated professions (doctors, chartered accountants, architects, and others), lawyers may incur civil or criminal liability for a fault they commit. Under the general rules of liability, a client seeking court proceedings and damages from their lawyer must establish a fault (intentional or negligent), loss, and a causal link.
Disciplinary proceedings do not seek compensation, but they may result in disciplinary sanctions against lawyers, the most serious of which is disbarment.
