Conseil en droit des affaires

Understanding your challenges, structuring your needs, and helping you achieve your ambitions.

Legal certainty in commercial agreements is a key factor in the performance of economic operators. We advise and assist entrepreneurs, companies, investors, directors and shareholders on a daily basis in the negotiation and execution of their transactions, ensuring that their commercial dealings are both compliant and legally sound..

Deeds of sale of business assets, securities, or receivables

The sale of business assets, company securities, or receivables are complex transactions that must comply with conditions of formation for validity and be structured rigorously in order to reflect the economic reality of the transaction envisaged by the parties.

We advise buyers and sellers, and guarantors both in the context of in bonis transactions and in distress situations.

Settlement agreements

We intervene upstream of complex litigations to assist parties seeking a confidential resolution to their disagreement, with a view to maintaining their business relationship. A settlement agreement aimed at sustaining a business relationship serves not only to resolve past difficulties but also to establish a framework for cooperation accepted by both parties, thereby avoiding any risk of future disputes.

Combining our expertise in business advisory and litigation, we ensure that settlement agreements are effective from both a legal and commercial perspective.

Service contracts

The contracts a company enters into, whether as a service provider or a client, have an impact on its organisational performance, profitability, and competitiveness. We intervene to secure your commitments (assignments, deadlines, responsibilities, and financial conditions), as well as to support you during the execution phase of these commitments.

Partnership agreements

The roll-out of certain activities may require economic players to pool their resources and capabilities through a joint venture or framework agreement, with a view to accelerating their individual growth. Such projects, carried out through partnerships, can offer a significant competitive advantage and act as a catalyst for gaining market share when structured effectively.

We assist you in structuring your partnerships to ensure a clear and balanced framework that enables each party to understand their commitments, rights and obligations.

Confidentiality agreements

A confidentiality agreement is an effective tool for securing your negotiations and agreements. The scope and coverage of a confidentiality agreement must be tailored-made to the project in order to protect your ideas, projects, and intellectual property.

We regularly advise investors on the implementation of agreements protecting their sensitive information. These contracts secure their commercial exchanges and preserve their know-how.

Franchise agreements

The franchise market occupies an important place in the economy both in France and internationally. Franchising is used in a variety of sectors, including hospitality, retail, catering, and fashion.

The parties to a franchise agreement enter into a collaboration agreement, the terms of which are regulated. A franchise agreement assigns rights and obligations that are crucial to the success of the franchisee’s business and the reputation of the franchisor’s network.

We assist franchisors and franchisees in the negotiation and execution of franchise agreements, as well as during the contractual performance period.
