Cultural Tip
In French professional contexts, it’s common to use a polite imperative or a more formal construction such as "Veuillez demander des conseils juridiques…". The term "conseils juridiques" is formal; in everyday speech you might hear "avis d’avocat" or simply "un avocat". Also, French law firms often require a written request, so pairing this phrase with "par écrit" can be useful.
