The disruption associated with commercial disputes, in terms of time consumption and financial resources, highlights the need of every company to establish clear contractual relationships with its corporate counterparts, customers and suppliers. Our firm, strengthened by experience, has developed an extensive knowledge in this area. Particular attention is paid to the protection of intellectual property rights (patents, trademarks, copyrights), the definition of appropriate guarantees, as well as the laying down of the applicable rules, in the event of dispute. The knowledge acquired by our firm extends to international relations that may involve the application of different legal systems, as well as to services concerning complex technologies through SLAs or licensing and franchising agreements.

Our firm is recognized as having a precise ability to assist clients in negotiating the essential elements of a contractual relationship. Such situations occur not only when contractual terms are established with new business partners but also when certain collaborative relationships (e.g. in relation to supply) cannot be maintained in a situation of conflict. It is then a question of identifying and negotiating reasonable terms for a conclusion of the contractual relationship (termination agreements).  Particular attention will be paid in this regard to the effectiveness of the solutions adopted, so that they can be implemented in a secure and auditable manner. Our firm's experience in the field of commercial litigation affords us the ability to compare the option of an agreement with that of the absence of an agreement (no agreement) so as to allow the client, at decisive moments in business, to choose the best course of action for the continued operation of the business. Likewise, all possible options available, in pursuing certain business projects, will be compared and considered, for example the weighing up of insourcing and outsourcing options.
