Types of commercial disputes
Managing contractual disputes
Contractual disputes are common in commercial relationships. They may arise from :
- The interpretation of contractual clauses : Ambiguities or gaps in the contract.
- Failure to meet obligations: Incomplete delivery, quality defect or delay.
- Ubusive termination: Unilateral breach of contract without justification.

Debt collection
Unpaid invoices are a major issue for companies, impacting their cash flow. Solutions include :
- Mise en demeure: A formal letter demanding payment within a specified timeframe.
- Injunction to pay procedure: A fast and efficient way to obtain an enforceable title in a non-contradictory manner.
- Saisies conservatoires: Guarantee payment by blocking the debtor’s assets, particularly when the debtor is acting in bad faith and a collection risk may have been identified.
- Implement an in-house collections strategy: Define internal processes for tracking invoices and regular reminders, before resorting to legal action.
💡 Accompaniment: We help you every step of the way to recover your receivables efficiently.
