  -> Yeah right, "electing domicile" is a tough one. It just took me a while to find some references. Anyway, the first version is okay (Robert & Collins du Management)

electing domicile at the chambers of counsel (explanation provided)


Explanation:
This basically means that all legal deeds are to be served at the offices of the lawyers handling the case; "societé civile professionnelle" ought to refer to a law firm or partnership. It does not necessarily mean the place where the party RESIDES, since a person could reside in Paris and still elect domicile for the purposes of specific court case in New York (such domicile could be with a law firm [most common] or at a secondary residence or even at the overseas consulate or embassy of the country to which the party belongs)
Hope that was helpful.

Sorry, did not see all the answers provided previously, there is obviously a serious drag on the website. My answer may now seem superfluous, but no matter, hope it was helpful all the same.

agree  writeaway: you gave the answer in my ref. this is cute: 4 correct answers and one casually off the mark. the off the mark was is "most helpful" but the right one returns to the glossary. the mystery of Proz........
28 mins
  -> indeed, I sometimes find this a forum of "asini istruiti da asini per continuare ad essere asini" (paraphrase of what the Italian poet Alfieri said about the school he attended!!

neutral  William Stein: This says the Company X resides, which refers to its legal residence.
1 hr
  -> That is quite wrong! the company may have its registered offices (legal residence) in Paris and still elect domicile in Japan!! You seem to have the concept screwed, but no matter! No matter how many people may be convinced by your warped reasoning.

Explanation:
in U.K. when we talk about domicile it is often taken as meaning domicile as for tax purposes which is of course not always where one lives. hth
