Our law firm is an essential point of reference for all questions relating to proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights.

We are one of the few French law firms to regularly have France condemned by the European Court of Human Rights.

Do you really need a lawyer to refer a case to the ECHR?

While not mandatory, we highly recommend engaging the services of a lawyer.

It is always better to choose a specialist lawyer, even if legal representation is not compulsory before the ECHR.

In principle, anyone can bring a case before the ECHR; you do not need to be a lawyer to lodge an application with the European Court of Human Rights, nor do you need to go through a lawyer to send a complaint to the ECHR.

But the procedure at the ECHR has become so complex that it is difficult and even dangerous to do without a lawyer.

We recommend that you use a lawyer who specialises in proceedings before the ECHR, because this is a tricky procedure and many lawyers who do not specialise in the ECHR regularly experience this.

It is preferable to choose a Strasbourg lawyer, who will be less expensive than a Parisian colleague.
