Fabien Cordiez

I am Fabien Cordiez, a licensed, dual-qualified solicitor with over 10 years of experience. I am regulated by the French Bar Association and am also a (non-practising) solicitor, member of the UK Law Society. http://www.corlegal.com

I started training as a solicitor in France 1991 and was admitted to the Bar in 1994. I did my articles at Philippe Leleu's law offices, a renowned senior Counsel whom, since then, became chairman of the CNB, the French Law Society.

I practised French and English law, as in-house solicitor, for Axa Insurance's UK operations, before joining Browne Jacobson solicitors' London office in 1998. I subsequently became Legal Counsel for Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) in the City of London and Zurich. I re-qualified as Solicitor of England & Wales in 2000.


I began developing a specialist French property law and inheritance law service when I set up my own practice in France in 2002. I am entirely dedicated to helping non-resident customers that need assistance with French law.
