We draft contracts and sales agreements, and we advise you on the execution of the different contracts entered into with the intermediaries/partners you’ll be working with in the course of your business.

We advise you on the establishment and termination of your contractual relations with commercial agents, suppliers, distributors or any service providers.

In the event of a commercial dispute, we represent you in-court and advise you on protective measures to be taken to guarantee your rights and on the execution of the resulting court rulings.

We also advise and assist on matters of consumer law, notably those pertaining to regulations governing sales and special offers, legal disclaimers required on packaging and websites, general terms and conditions of sale and use, and payment transactions.

We offer support in distribution law by providing you with appropriate expertise and/or assisting in the settlement of pre-litigation and litigation, notably in competition law (unfair competition, parasitic copying, denigration, practice of promotional pricing) or involving a supplier or distributor (economic dependence, termination of business relations).

We rely on the complementary areas of expertise of our teams in labour, intellectual property, corporate and tax law to provide comprehensive, appropriate and practical advice.
