Why choose Carnot Avocats?
Initially based at 3, rue Président Carnot in the second arrondissement of Lyon, Carnot Avocats came about thanks to the meeting of its partners and their joint wish to create a law firm combining professional discipline with a professional conscience. Its motto was “Be serious without taking yourself too seriously”. This slogan continues to inspire our team even today!
35 years on, and we’ve kept the name as a tribute to this meeting, which created our team and forged its identity!
