Economic and Commercial Law

What your lawyer can do for you

Commercial and Economic Law is what allows to best manage the relationship between a company, its clients, and its suppliers, but also its competitors.

We have real expertise in these areas: distribution and franchise law, marketing of new products or services, product liability, drafting of all commercial contracts, lease agreements, but also litigation management in the event damages are caused to your business (unfair competition, liability, debt collection, etc.)

We know the ins and outs of the economic landscape in our region.

You wish to launch and/or develop a business project?

Over the past 25 years, we have met hundreds of project leaders and entrepreneurs. This is what gives great strength to our advice.

  • First of all, we want to make sure we understand your project and your business, this includes your day-to-day work environment.
  • We help you choose the best framework for your business to be secure (therefore downstream): franchise, trademark license, distributorship, etc. or by simply writing solid and customized General Terms & Conditions for your business.
  • We also work with your suppliers (therefore upstream): we assist you with the decision-making process, we draft for you various contracts (confidentiality, non-competition agreements, partnerships, consortium agreements, etc.).
  • We are also able to manage very complex contracts, such as leasing agreements, financing contracts, and we also manage projects that take place abroad. We have a great deal of expertise in the area of contracts and are able to approach a situation from all angles.
  • We draw up and/or secure all these contracts for you. We can also help you negotiate such contracts and agreements with your business partners. We have at heart your interests and the economic balances at hand.
  • Working hand in hand with other teams within our firm and their respective areas of specialization, we can meet all expectations and address all legal issues related to the development of your project (employment contracts, partnership agreements, taxes, acquisitions, drafting of your IT terms and conditions, terms and conditions of use, etc.).

You have a special problem to deal with, on a one-off or recurring basis? Debt collection, a supplier or partner who is causing you problems, competitors or former employees who behave badly, etc.

We have extensive experience in litigation, which we have been practicing for more than 25 years. We always think about the strategy to be implemented in times when a company is in difficulty. Such bad behaviors can even turn the life of a company upside down. It must be dealt with as effectively as possible.

We know how to:

  • Make a diagnosis very quickly on the stakes at hand, in light of the problem you are encountering.
  • Implement a strategy that is fully adapted to the issue at hand: whether it involves restraining orders, preliminary injunctions for the recovery of a debt or the preservation of evidence for more sensitive cases, emergency measures or the choice of a longer-term strategy, etc. In short, we know how to use all the legal and judicial arsenal at our disposal to strike swiftly and hard at those who harm your interests in one way or another.
  • Advise you in an effective manner when your company is being sued = choosing together the right angle of defense, helping you in the search and selection of evidence, building a simple but effective case.
  • We are also convinced that, sometimes, the best solution is to try to find a negotiated agreement. To that end, one of the firm’s partners is specifically trained in collaborative law and mediation for companies.
