Commercial Contracts

A commercial contract aims to frame and secure business life and its resulting relationships. These include various contracts governed by special rules. 

Distribution Contracts

Depending on the parties’ quality and specific needs, distribution contracts can take many forms, such as:

  • Franchise contract
  • Exclusive supply contract
  • Commercial agent contract
  • Commission affiliation contract

A distribution contract establishes an agreement between a supplier and an intermediary, the distributor, who is tasked with selling the supplier’s products or services.

Franchise Contracts

A franchise contract establishes the commercial relationship where a franchisor provides a franchisee with know-how and the right to use distinctive signs and related intellectual property rights.

This contract sets practical and financial terms for using the trade name, brand, licenses, graphic charter, patents, etc. 

Partnership Contracts

Innovative and creative activities often lead to aspirations for partnerships. The advantage of this contract is that signatory parties remain entirely autonomous legally and financially. It limits litigation risk and strengthens relationships between parties.

A commercial partnership contract is an agreement between independent partners, establishing a participative decision-making mode through horizontal relationships. Resources and strengths of each party are pooled to achieve a shared goal and interest.

Our experts are ready to listen to your collaboration projects, especially in the era of new technologies.

Advertising Contracts

An advertising contract governs the relationship between an advertiser and an agency or intermediary who is tasked with producing and distributing advertising for a fixed price. This contract is crucial for developing your business and ensuring the visibility of your company and its products or services.

Confidentiality Agreements

Executing your projects involves significant work and investment. Thus, it is often necessary to keep certain information confidential. During negotiations with third parties, drafting a confidentiality agreement is a real added value to protect this sensitive information, preventing disclosure or misuse of valuable information.
