Contracts

In order to protect your commercial interests it is now more important than ever not to rely on mere verbal or short written agreements, but to think through and write down in detail - the intended functioning of a business relationship. The more thorough the preparation of the relevant contractual clauses (which take into account the applicable substantive and procedural law), the more protection one has in the judicial and extrajudicial defense of one's rights in case of a default by the trading partner.

Types of problems

• commerce
• subcontracting
• deposit account
• distribution agreements (concession, franchise, agency,...)
• partnerships or joint-ventures
• establishment and registration of a European Company (SE)
• setting up European Economic Interest Groupings (EEIG)
• licensing and technology transfer

Cases

The Firm has prepared numerous distribution agreements, with particular attention to the problems - often underestimated by clients - of compliance with the mandatory provisions concerning the protection of competition laid down in European law.

Among the most recent contracts drawn by the Studio we include the following:

• Establishment of a franchise of ice-cream businesses in Barcelona (Spain)
• International agency contract for France, Belgium and Luxembourg
• Master Agreement for the supply (intra and extra EU) of industrial equipment in the aerospace, defense and security sector
