Built on principle.
Proven by results.
Since 1998, Lucien Premier Firm LLP has set the standard for independent legal practice in Lyon — rigorous, discreet, and relentlessly focused on outcomes.
Founded on conviction.
Maître Camille Lucien established the firm in 1998 with a clear conviction: that the best legal service is not the largest, but the most committed. What began as a litigation-focused boutique has grown into a full-service firm spanning eight disciplines, all united by the same standard of preparation and advocacy.
We are proud members of the Barreau de Lyon and appear regularly before the Tribunal judiciaire de Lyon, the Cour d'appel, and administrative and commercial jurisdictions across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Rigour. Discretion. Resolution.
We do not believe in legal templates. Each mandate is approached as a unique problem demanding original thought. We prepare more thoroughly than opponents expect, communicate more clearly than clients fear, and advocate more forcefully than circumstances require.
This is not marketing language. It is the operating standard we have maintained since our founding in 1998 — and the reason our clients return.
What we stand for
Absolute Discretion
Every matter is handled with strict professional secrecy. What you share with us stays with us — always.
Intellectual Rigour
We research thoroughly, argue precisely, and never present a position we have not tested against its strongest objection.
Client First
Your objectives define our strategy. We adapt to what you need — not to what is easiest for us to provide.
Honest Counsel
We tell you what the law can achieve — not what you want to hear. Realistic expectations lead to better outcomes.
Responsiveness
Legal situations do not wait for business hours. We are accessible when it matters and proactive in keeping you informed.
Strategic Depth
We see the full picture — not just the immediate question — from the first meeting.
