​Based in Lyon since 2009, our firm specializes in commercial law and tax law in France and internationally.

Welcome

​

What I care about is business.

​

Its energy, its complexity, its ability to generate movement, jobs, and value. I became a lawyer to support those who take risks and build. I founded my firm in Lyon in 2009 to help them make decisions, anticipate challenges, structure operations, and defend their interests.

 

My name is Rodolphe Rous, a French-Italian lawyer admitted to the Lyon Bar.

 

Before taking the oath, I worked as a factory worker, a parliamentary assistant, and a local elected official. I've experienced the world of labor, the political arena, and the economic realities of a region. This unique path gave me a practical view of the law and a strong sense of responsibility.

​

Today, I assist entrepreneurs, family groups, investors, and professionals in tax law, commercial law, and wealth structuring, both in France and internationally.

​

I advise and I defend. I structure, anticipate, and act.

​

A dual culture, local roots, and a European vision

With dual French and Italian citizenship, I’ve been working for over fifteen years between Lyon and the rest of Europe. My practice is naturally international, with a strong focus on cross-border operations involving France and Italy, supported by a trusted network of European legal correspondents.

​

At the same time, I have deep local roots in Lyon: I have served as a local elected official, and I know the key economic, institutional, and professional players in the region. This close connection is a strategic asset for my clients.

​

A sharp, committed legal practice

My work spans a wide range of tax law matters (planning, audits, litigation), commercial law (contracts, disputes, structuring), and wealth and corporate structuring (transfers, holdings, family governance).

I also contribute to complex, comparative, and European cases. I’ve published legal articles on the Rome I Regulation, technology transfer and antitrust rules under EU law, and the definition of “consumer” in Italian law.

​

I practice as an independent lawyer, but I am part of a collective of about ten attorneys, each with their own specialty (labor, criminal business law, IP, real estate, etc.). This allows me to offer a personalized relationship with clients, while also drawing on collective strength when needed.

​

Facing a challenge, a project, a strategic issue?

I’m here to help you see clearly, make sound decisions, and take effective action.

I bring my experience to your business — with precision, insight, and commitment.
