I am very happy with Taka Conseil. Leah's at hand ready knowledge is quite impressive and if she can't answer you straight away, it doesn't take long before you get an email with the information you need. Her patience with me and my weird ideas and the troubles I get myself into, being a foreigner in France, is second to none. I can highly recommend her.

My family has been using Taka Conseil for the past 18 months and cannot praise their efficiency and friendly service highly enough. Nothing has been too much trouble. As a UK resident, trying to juggle welfare and administrative concerns for a relative in France, I could not have managed without Taka Conseil. I fully expect my professional relationship with them to continue in 2025 and would strongly recommend them to all who seek advice and action in their established fields of expertise.

Barbara & Leah's help has been amazing. I can't recommend Taka Conseil highly enough. Navigating the French language is a challenge, the French legal system - very difficult, but doing so when so recently bereaved would have been virtually impossible. They've acted as translators, counsellors and friends. Their guidance & professionalism has been top rate.

Taka has been my lifeline for small and huge problems in France, from making specialist doctor appointments to house selling and accompanying me at a police station. They respond fast and I trust them and appreciate their professionalism

Léah at Taka Conseil has been just fantastic! Without her help my land would still be unsold. Her attention to detail, fast response time and ability to carry out many different tasks made everything so easy for me. Their rates are very reasonable too, with invoices being carefully prepared showing each minute spent. I highly recommend Taka Conseil.
