The Firm
Read everything, argue what matters
Maître Jérémy Lelot began in international business law firms, where he learned to read every document and to assert nothing that is not sourced. A lawyer of the Barreau de Paris since 2024, he defends his clients before the tribunaux administratifs (administrative courts), the courts of appeal and the civil and employment courts, in public law, immigration law and employment law.
A claim is won on a well-built ground, never on volume. Three solid arguments rather than ten weak ones, and a pleading the judge can read in one sitting: that is the rule the Firm applies to an appeal against an OQTF (an order to leave French territory) just as much as to the challenge of a sanction.
What you can check for yourself
A personal reading of every document. The draft pleading before it is filed. A written report after every hearing. Fees set in writing before any work begins.
And if your case has little chance of success, the Firm tells you so before you incur any costs.
Practice areas
Three fields, fourteen pages to guide you
Immigration law
The area where the time limits are shortest and the consequences heaviest. The Firm first checks the date of notification, then builds the appeal around the grounds that have a real chance of being upheld.
- Appeal against an OQTF
- Refusal of a residence permit
- Immigration detention
- Appeal before the CNDA (the national asylum court)
- Refusal of naturalisation
- Challenging an IRTF (a ban on returning to French territory)
- Change of status
- Shortage occupations
Public law
Public service, public procurement and disciplinary proceedings for healthcare professionals. Advice to economic operators on the one hand, defence of public servants and practitioners on the other.
- Public service law: sanctions, transfers, tenure, harassment
- Public procurement: référé précontractuel (pre-contractual urgent interim proceedings), award, performance
- Disciplinary proceedings: disciplinary chambers at first instance and on appeal
Civil law and employment law
The Firm quantifies your claims before bringing proceedings, so that you know what you can hope for, and always begins by assessing what the case is worth.
- Employment law: dismissal, overtime, rupture conventionnelle (negotiated termination), conseil de prud’hommes (the French employment tribunal)
- Civil law: contracts, leases, co-ownership, liability, debt recovery

Three cases
Told plainly
Real situations, anonymised. They show how the Firm works, not what it promises.
Immigration law
He came to support his partner and stayed beyond the deadline
The situation. A national of a visa-exempt country accompanies his seriously ill partner. His ninety days run out. A lawyer withdraws two days after the time limit has expired.
What the Firm did. Choose the right legal basis, build the file around two pieces of evidence, a single letter with an index of thirty documents.
Employment law
Overtime paid under another name
The situation. An employee dismissed for gross misconduct, whose overtime was paid under the heading of a bonus. He wants to “claim everything”.
What the Firm did. Reconstruct the hours, quantify each claim with its degree of soundness and the list of missing documents.
Public law
An electricity connection refused to a private individual
The situation. A co-owner against whom the network operator invokes future works, without explanation.
What the Firm did. Identify the nature of the dispute, a public service with its own rules and its own court, and require the imposed solution to be justified.
In practice
How the Firm works with you
What you receive
- A personal reading of every document. No case is delegated.
- The draft pleading before it is filed, with time to read it over.
- A written report after every hearing.
- Fees set in writing before any work begins.
What the Firm tells you
- If your case has little chance of success, before you incur any costs.
- What the judge will look at, and what the judge will not.
- The realistic timetable, not the theoretical one.
- What the Firm does not yet know, and how it is going to check it.
Online consultation
Do you want a reasoned answer, and not merely a first contact?
You send the Firm your documents, the Firm examines them itself and replies to you, by telephone or in writing. Prices inclusive of all taxes, deducted from the fixed fee if the case is then entrusted to the Firm. The first orientation conversation, for its part, remains free of charge.
Your questions
Before you call
Fixed fees start at 840 € for a residence permit application and at 1 320 € for an appeal against a refusal, inclusive of all taxes. Aide juridictionnelle (legal aid) is accepted. The figure is given to you during the first call, before any commitment.
Yes, twenty minutes by telephone, with no commitment, to assess your situation and tell you whether an appeal can be considered. For a reasoned opinion on the documents, without an appointment, two options exist at 60 and 90 €, deducted from the fixed fee if the case is entrusted to the Firm.
It all depends on the date the decision was notified and on its nature. Call with the decision in front of you: the check takes a few minutes and it is the first thing the Firm does. An expired time limit cannot be made good; an incomplete file can be completed.
14 rue Séguier, Paris 6e, a few minutes from the Palais de justice and from the tribunal administratif de Paris. Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Exchanges also take place by telephone and by video conference, and appeals to the administrative courts are filed online.
