Terms of engagement

Last updated: 12 July 2026. These terms apply to the services provided by OBOBO Limited, trading as OBERMEN.

1. Who you are contracting with

OBERMEN is a claims-management company incorporated in Ireland. OBERMEN is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice and does not represent you before any court or insurer.

2. What OBERMEN does

• a free, no-obligation review of whether your situation is worth pursuing;
• collection, organisation and translation of your file (medical records, police report, insurer correspondence);
• appointment and coordination of an independent medical adviser acting for you at the medical examination;
• introduction to a partner law firm admitted to practise in France;
• multilingual coordination between you, the medical adviser and the law firm for the duration of the case.

3. What OBERMEN does not do

OBERMEN does not assess the legal merits of your claim, does not quantify your compensation, does not negotiate with insurers and does not conduct proceedings. Those acts are reserved, under French law, to lawyers.

4. The partner law firm

Legal work is carried out by an independent law firm admitted to practise in France, under a separate engagement letter concluded directly between you and that firm, setting out its own fees. You are free to choose or refuse the firm introduced to you, and free to instruct any other lawyer.

5. Fees

• The initial assessment is free.
• You are not asked to fund the case out of pocket while it proceeds.
• OBERMEN is remunerated as set out in the fee schedule communicated to you in writing before you sign. No fee is due unless it has been disclosed and accepted by you beforehand.
• The lawyer’s fees are governed by your engagement letter with the firm, not by these terms.

6. Your right to withdraw

If you are a consumer, you may withdraw from this contract within 14 days of signing, without giving any reason and at no cost, by writing to contact@obermen.com. Where you expressly ask us to begin work during that period, we may charge for work actually performed before withdrawal.

7. Your obligations

You undertake to provide accurate and complete information and to inform us of any direct contact or offer from the insurer. Inaccurate or withheld information may compromise your claim.

8. Ending the contract

You may terminate at any time by written notice. Fees for work already performed remain payable in accordance with the fee schedule.

9. No guarantee of outcome

No outcome, amount or timescale is guaranteed. Any figure mentioned during the assessment is indicative and does not bind OBERMEN, the partner law firm or any court.

10. Liability

OBERMEN is liable for its own services. It is not liable for the legal advice, the conduct of proceedings or the professional decisions of the partner law firm or of any medical adviser, who are independent professionals liable under their own professional insurance.

11. Personal data

See our Privacy and GDPR notice.

12. Complaints, law and jurisdiction

Complaints: contact@obermen.com. These terms are governed by Irish law. As a consumer, you retain the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence and may bring proceedings before the courts of that country.
