Why now

The upcoming reform lightens the technical burden, but shifts the complexity towards legal interpretation: qualification, derogation regimes, transitional provisions.

These questions are not solved by software or by a technical file. They are solved by legal analysis — at the right time, on the right scope.

Two deadlines are already certain. Certificates issued under the previous regime expire on 31 December 2027 for class III devices and class IIb implantables, and on 31 December 2028 for the other devices concerned. And since 28 May 2026, the first four EUDAMED modules — actor registration, devices and UDI, notified bodies and certificates, market surveillance — have been mandatory. The reform under preparation changes none of these dates.

MDR / IVDR

Product qualification, risk class, conformity route, certification deadlines.

Health data & AI

GDPR, certified health-data hosting, how the AI Act interacts with conformity assessment.

Medtech contracts

Distribution, subcontracting, mandate: how responsibilities are shared between operators.

EU market access

Non-EU manufacturers: role mapping, choosing an authorised representative, entry strategy.

Your journey

Three steps, no commitment

01

Test

A free online assessment. Ten questions, adapted to your role — manufacturer, distributor or importer. Your email address is required to receive the report.

02

Read

Enter your e-mail and receive your report: three levels of assessment, the questions your situation raises, your deadlines. A preliminary indication — not legal advice.

03

Decide

If your situation calls for it, a lawyer answers: a one-hour consultation, then a fixed-fee package with a written scope.

Free assessment

Where do you stand? Test your situation

Ten questions, three levels of assessment: your market opportunity, your risk and urgency, your need for legal analysis. The path adapts to your role in the supply chain.

Your answers to the questionnaire stay in your browser. Only your email address is sent to us, together with the summary of your report (profile, levels, headings of the points of attention), so that we can provide your report. It is never shared with any third party.

This report is generated automatically from the answers you have entered, without verification and without review of any document. It is provided for information only: it does not constitute legal advice or an opinion, and creates no relationship between you and the firm. It reflects the position at the date it was generated. Some statements rely on proposed Regulation COM(2025)1023, not yet adopted: they reflect anticipation rather than the law as it stands.

Our services

Fixed-fee packages with a written scope

Every package is defined in writing: what it covers, what it excludes, the number of meetings and review rounds. The range shown depends on the scope retained; the firm price is set before any engagement, in an engagement letter. Beyond the agreed scope, nothing is undertaken without your written approval.

And beyond? An inspection by an authority, a position to defend before a notified body, a growth transaction, due diligence: these matters cannot be scoped in advance. They are quoted case by case. The firm assists you before the notified body or the competent authority — this is not court representation, and no outcome can be guaranteed: our commitment covers means, method and deadlines.
Scope of advice. The firm advises on French law and on European Union law as applicable in France. It does not give opinions on the national laws of other Member States, nor on non-European laws. Where a question falls under foreign law, it is handled, where appropriate, with local counsel, under a separate quote.

A case under control, deadlines met, risks understood: that is what we commit to.

Non-negotiable

A clear framework, before any engagement

The assessment is not legal advice

The online tool and its report are a preliminary indication. Legal advice begins with the lawyer, under an engagement letter.

No promise of outcome

Neither CE marking nor an authority's decision can be guaranteed. The firm's commitment covers means, method, scope and deadlines — in writing.

Your data stays yours

Your answers to the questionnaire stay in your browser. We receive only your email address and the summary of your report — profile, levels, headings of the points of attention — so that we can send you that report and, where relevant, get back to you. Neither is ever sold, rented or shared with third parties, and you may object at any time.

A written scope, a confirmed price

Each package states what is included, what is excluded and what triggers a custom quote. No additional work is undertaken without your written approval.

Independence

The firm does not act as authorised representative and receives no referral fees. The advice you get serves your case only.

Conflict-of-interest check

Before any engagement, the firm checks for conflicts of interest. If one exists, it tells you — and does not open the file.

Transparent use of artificial intelligence

The firm uses artificial intelligence tools for legal research and to prepare its deliverables. These tools are used under the systematic supervision of a lawyer, who remains solely responsible for the advice given. No document covered by legal professional privilege is processed without appropriate safeguards.
