Louise Astruc Baciotti practises on her own in Paris, exclusively in domestic and international family and estate law. She advises a French and international clientele who prepare an expatriation, notably on the matrimonial side, and in divorce proceedings, domestic or international, and separation proceedings. She also helps organise family life and settle the financial consequences of a break-up.

Before opening her own firm she worked for several years at a firm dedicated to family, personal and estate law. She works in French and in English, for French families living abroad, foreign families settling in France, and couples of French nationals who want to secure their family and property position. Trained in amicable dispute resolution, she favours mediation and reasoned negotiation, and represents her clients in court across France when it is needed.

She teaches regularly at the École de formation des Barreaux de Paris, speaks at conferences in France and abroad, writes in specialist family-law journals, and belongs to French and international associations (Institut du droit de la famille et du patrimoine, Association internationale des jeunes avocats, ACE), where she takes part in the work of their family-law and international private-client commissions.
