Business law

PICTO_droit_du_travail

Our firm works with companies and their managers:

  • on the one hand to advise them in the application of commercial regulations,
  • on the other hand to help them avoid or resolve their commercial disputes,
  • and finally to assert their rights or defend them before the courts in the event of a dispute.

    • Drafting of legal documents (General Terms and Conditions of Purchase, General Terms and Conditions of Sale, General Terms and Conditions of Services, information and advisory documents, contractual guarantees, limitation of liability clauses, after-sales service conditions, retention of title).
    • Adapting the content of contracts and legal documents to economic, commercial and regulatory developments.
