Notre accompagnement

Building an efficient and sustainable commercial network.

Whether you are a network manager or a distributor, the choice of the contractual model determines your growth and your risks. I help you choose the right legal qualification to avoid requalifications (e.g. disguised franchise).

My strategic approach:

  1. Network Architecture: Franchise, exclusive dealership, selective distribution or commercial agency? I define the model adapted to your product and your desired control.2. Drafting Contracts: Development of robust contracts (territorial exclusivity, quotas, transmission of know-how) in accordance with French and European competition law.‍
  2. Pre-contractual Information: Drafting of the DIP (Pre-contractual Information Document) mandatory for the franchise (Doubin Law) in order to avoid the nullity of the contract.‍
  3. The Life of the Network: Management of amendments, renewals and network exits.

Some examples of recent services:

  • Network architecture: Choice of the contractual model (exclusive, selective distribution, franchise, commission-affiliation, commercial agency),
  • Distribution contracts: Drafting of tailor-made distribution contracts and supply contracts (Supply Agreements),
  • Central purchasing offices: Implementation of partnership and referencing contracts to optimize group purchases,
  • Product regulations: Advice on labelling, reselling regulated products and selling at a loss.
