Summary: | While much research has focused on the legal profession in recent years, few have focused on the professional day-to-day lives of lawyers and relationships with their clients. The objective of our article is precisely to analyse, by mobilizing the materials of various research, the relations between social law lawyers who are members of the Syndicat des Avocats de France (SAF) and their clients. As a first step, the article looks back on SAF and looks at the definition of professional practices and client relations that it puts forward. In a second step, it tightens the focus and analyzes the daily and ordinary working relationships between social lawyers and their clients. The article then shows that, depending on the type of clientele, these relationships are plural, thus affecting the division of labour and the autonomy of the legal professional.
