Commercial
and International Contracts

We design and negotiate all key business agreements: framework agreements, general terms and conditions of sale and purchase, bespoke contracts, industrial partnerships, and supply agreements. Each document strikes the right balance between protecting your interests, ensuring operational flexibility, and maintaining regulatory compliance. We intervene early to anticipate friction points, support you during negotiations to defend key positions, and review existing contracts as laws evolve or new risks emerge.

Every clause is crafted to withstand tension and potential disputes.

Chaque clause est pensée pour résister aux tensions et aux contentieux futurs.

We structure and protect relationships among suppliers, distributors, franchisees, commercial agents, and B2B or B2C partners. From contract design and legal qualification of intermediaries to exclusivity clauses, territoriality, and termination of established relationships, we anticipate imbalances and disputes. Each structure preserves network flexibility while limiting exposure to termination indemnities, unfair competition claims, or requalification risks. Our approach integrates operational realities and market dynamics.

A resilient network depends on clear and balanced contractual commitments.

We draft and secure B2B and B2C sales contracts, including digital models such as e-commerce, marketplaces, SaaS platforms, and subscription services. We ensure that terms and conditions comply with consumer law, withdrawal rights, pre-contractual information obligations, and prohibitions on unfair terms, while managing platform liability. Each framework minimizes exposure to consumer disputes, administrative penalties, and collective actions. We tailor contractual models to each sales channel while maintaining overall legal coherence.

Distinguishing between B2B and B2C is key to managing regulatory risk.

We audit and bring contractual portfolios into compliance with new regulations or external reviews. This includes reviewing terms and conditions, identifying unfair or unbalanced clauses, and ensuring alignment with GDPR, anti-corruption, ESG, and international sanctions requirements. Each audit leads to a prioritized action plan. We assist companies during DGCCRF inspections or internal audits, respond to regulatory demands, and negotiate with authorities.

Contractual compliance is a prerequisite for business continuity.

We support the implementation of contract governance strategies and tools, including centralized contract repositories, process digitalization, monitoring of key deadlines (renewals, terminations, amendments), and standardization of templates. We design negotiation playbooks, clause libraries, and validation workflows that reduce signature times, minimize errors, and enhance traceability. Our approach includes training and change management to support the adoption of CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) tools and to industrialize contract management at scale.

Mastering the contract lifecycle is a competitive advantage.

We represent companies in complex commercial disputes involving wrongful termination, non-performance, hidden defects, warranty claims, and cross-border litigation. Whether through court proceedings, international arbitration, or settlement negotiations, we manage the process end-to-end to minimize operational impact. Our work also includes administrative investigations (DGCCRF, sector-specific regulators), responses to formal notices, and defense against enforcement actions. Each case is managed as a risk to be contained, with particular attention to reputation and the preservation of business relationships.

Anticipating disputes is the best way to prevent or mitigate them.
