The office

The longest-established member of the team, Me Corinne RICHEFORT joined the office in 1989 and has held the post of Notary Public since 2019. She is here to provide you with advice and support at key stages of your life.

An expert in family and inheritance law, her professional approach and experience combine to deliver a first-class service for her clients. 

She pays very close attention to her clients’ needs and will really strive to ensure their short- and long-term goals are achieved, whether these relate to family affairs or real estate dealings.

With almost ten years’ experience as a notary in the Nice area, two of which have been in our office, Me Isabelle CLAISSE was appointed as a ‘Notaire salarié’ in 2019.

Having attended university in both Caen and Nice, she undertook a course at the Paris II Panthéon-Assas university to prepare her for the competitive entrance exam for the Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature (the National School for the Judiciary). This enabled her to acquire a solid grounding in the law, which she strove to pass on to her students in her role as a tutor at the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis. She decided to practise as a notary so that clients from both the local area and abroad could benefit from her skills.

Conscientious and accessible, she is always ready to listen to her clients as she helps them navigate through life’s key stages and major projects.

Efficient, responsive and very familiar with the field of real estate law, she can also advise you in matters of family law – valuing or passing on assets, for example – whilst implementing the strategies that will enable you to achieve your goals.

A native of Nice and winter sports fan, the mountainous countryside to the north of Nice is like a second home to him.

After acquiring wide-ranging experience in notarial practice in the Nice area, he moved to the island of La Réunion, where he was appointed to a notarial post in an office on this Indian Ocean island.

Nostalgia for the Côte d’Azur saw him return to Nice and he joined our firm in September 2020.

Always ready to listen to clients and their needs, he will offer a responsive and thorough service as he advises you on your projects whether they relate to property, family or your career.

He’ll use his professional experience, his contacts and his in-depth knowledge of the local property market to advise you on buy-to-let property investment (holiday rental properties, tax issues, furnished private landlord status (LMNP)).

Me GUYET-SIKSIK is a mathematics graduate. Her scientific rigour and logic are useful in her day-to-day activities, particularly in family law, for example, when she is drawing up a deed of partition or an agreed asset split as part of a divorce settlement or a will.

Communicating well with her clients has always been a priority for her as it enables her to build trust and establish a good client-notary relationship.

Her responsive, client-centred approach is reflected in her commitment to put her clients’ interests first both in the short- and long-term, advising and supporting them through key life events (prenuptial agreements, wills, real estate acquisitions, gifts, adoption) as well as during tougher times (estates/inheritances, divorce, amicable financial settlements or partition actions).

A qualified notary since 2001, Me Christine OLIVIER is very well established on the Nice notary scene.
A passion for the public good and an enquiring mind enabled her to take on the challenge of working for a regional authority for 4 years.

This experience has helped her to assist a range of state actors – not to mention land developers and property developers – bring their real estate projects to fruition.

Conscientious and available for her clients, she will do her utmost to find solutions which protect the interests of all stakeholders across a range of property-related transactions.

A fluent English speaker, she is able to help foreign clients buy or sell real estate.

A Niçois by adoption, Me Laurence DUPOUY-PAULIN entered the notarial profession in 1997 after having obtained a postgraduate diploma (DESS) in notarial practice from the Université Côte d’Azur in Nice before attending the university of Aix-en-Provence where she obtained her DSN (an additional postgraduate qualification in notarial practice).

With nine years’ experience working in the family law field and having practised in the area of real estate law since 2006, she is well-placed to listen to your needs and support and advise you in relation to all your major life plans.

Notary since February 2021.

A native of the Alpes de Haute-Provence, he began his career in a law firm, enabling him to gain an excellent grounding in civil law and commercial law.

He then changed career path, being more interested in focusing on a mediatory role than on legal disputes, moving to Nice in 2018.

First and foremost a generalist, Me Isoard is interested in a wide range of dossiers and stands out from the crowd due to the particular care and attention he pays to each and every client.

A real citizen of the world, both by lived experience and inclination, he is a fluent Italian speaker, allowing him to work with Italian clients on matters ranging from property sales to family law.

Observant and meticulous, he will offer you excellent advice, whatever your project.

A native of Nice, she studied at universities in both Nice and Aix-en-Provence.
Boasting fifteen years’ experience in the notarial profession in Nice (from qualifying as a Notary Public in 2009 to being appointed a ‘Notaire salarié’ in 2018), she joined the office at the end of 2021.
Conscientious, thorough, responsive, attentive and available for her clients – these are just some of the qualities which enable her to effectively manage her family law caseload (wills, gifting property, a share in the capital of a company or company stock, sale by auction of property held indivisum, division of assets in the framework of a divorce settlement, partition actions etc), this being an area in which she has a particular interest. She is also active in the field of real estate law (sales).
She strives to keep her clients happy and to offer them the best possible advice and guidance with regard to their major life plans and events.

An adopted citizen of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Me Rousseau discovered the notarial profession at the age of just 16.
Having gained an understanding of the various services offered by a notary firm, she went on to acquire the necessary qualifications and subsequently joined our office as a notary.
Quick to respond and always ready to help, she has built up a loyal client base of individuals and professionals in the real estate sector from Menton to the Nice backcountry area.
 Her priority is to establish a trust-based relationship with her clients which will help her to quickly offer solutions to their needs.
 A fundamentally conscientious person, she will be ready with a listening ear to help guide you through the key stages in your life.
