Information in English
Maître Guillaume Garcia is a lawyer at the Nice Bar, in practice since 2010, whose main areas are debt collection and construction disputes in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes. The firm regularly acts for foreign companies and non-resident property owners.
How the firm works with English-speaking clients: correspondence is in written English (e-mail, letters, a report at each stage); telephone calls and meetings are held in French, with an interpreter of your choice if you wish; and, as French law requires, the proceedings themselves (notices, writs, expert’s meetings, hearings and judgments) are conducted in French. We explain each document to you in writing.
