The Key Points

Business law governs all economic and commercial activities. It regulates the relationships between various economic actors and provides the legal framework necessary for the proper functioning of businesses and the market.

​

Business law covers a wide range of areas, including, within our areas of practice:

​

  • Corporate Law: It governs the creation and operation of companies. This includes choosing the legal structure (LLC, PLC, SAS, etc.), governance rules, and the rights and obligations of shareholders and executives.

​

  • Commercial Law: It deals with commercial transactions, the status of merchants, commercial leases, and commercial contracts (sales, distribution, franchising, etc.).

​

  • Consumer Law: It governs the relationships between businesses and consumers and sets the rules applicable to businesses (unfair commercial practices, general terms and conditions of sale, product and service warranty and compliance).

​​

  • Competition Law: It aims to ensure free and fair competition in the market by prohibiting anti-competitive practices (cartels, abuse of dominant position) and controlling business concentrations.

​​

The role of the lawyer in business law is multifaceted and crucial:

​

  • Legal Advice: The lawyer guides entrepreneurs and executives in their strategic decisions, informing them about legal implications and potential risks.

​

  • Drafting and Negotiating Contracts: The lawyer drafts and negotiates commercial contracts, ensuring the protection of their client's interests while maintaining the legal validity of the agreements.

​​

  • Dispute Management: In case of a dispute, the lawyer represents and defends their client's interests before the competent courts or through alternative dispute resolution methods (mediation, conciliation).

​

  • Compliance: The lawyer helps businesses implement internal procedures to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, particularly in areas such as anti-corruption or data protection.

​

Business law is constantly evolving, influenced by economic, technological, and societal changes. Specialized lawyers must therefore stay continuously informed about new legislation, recent case law, and emerging practices. Lawyers are often required to work on cases involving multiple jurisdictions, necessitating an understanding of different legal systems and international conventions.

​

Whether you are an entrepreneur, business executive, or investor, it is crucial to surround yourself with specialized lawyers who can guide you through this complex legal environment, protect your interests, and help you seize opportunities while minimizing legal risks.
