Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in France?
We list 177, in 10 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Paris, with 127 of the 177.
Is English unusual for lawyers in France?
47% of the 378 lawyers we hold in France are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
