Commercial Law

Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts requires not only legal knowledge understanding of your business and a keen eye for detail but, above all, an anticipation of potential issues based on experience.

At Guilmot & Bassine we are used to structure all types of commercial agreements for both domestic and trans-national operations such as distribution agreements (re-seller agreements, agency, franchising, exclusive distribution) general terms for B-to-B or B-to-C (whether online or not), service agreements, consultancy agreements, commercial leases, marketing contracts, loan agreements, rental and occupation, master agreements, sub-contracting arrangements, toll-manufacturing, supply and the likes). We also routinely deal with all kinds of business instruments like transfer of undertaking/branches, business purchases, shares subscription agreements, stock exchange agreements, escrow, stock options, technical cooperation, licenses (patent, process, know-how, software’s), JDA’s, MTA’s, NDA’s, NCA’s, consortiums, litigation funding’s, etc.

The commercial activity also faces various legal constraints that need to be proactively addressed before entering any market or being reviewed and audited from time to time.

This is the reason why we put our experience at your disposal in terms of compliance of commercial practice and advertising, consumer law, privacy and data protection or competition law on local market (broader overview of competition rules is a matter that pertains to the corporate practice which we review with clients when it comes to M&A).

Whatever your interest is in insolvency issues and other related matters (insolvency proceedings, recovery plans, restructuring of companies, debt recovery or restructuring), we will assist you when needed.
