Real Cases Where We Secured Justice & Payment

See how we turned urgent disputes, from defective products to unpaid invoices, into enforceable victories and financial recovery for businesses worldwide.

A manufacturing company based in New Zealand, sourced custom lids from a French supplier. A large batch of lids was defective, causing a significant operational incident. We intervened on behalf of the New Zealand company and successfully negotiated with the French supplier’s insurer. The insurer ultimately compensated our client in the amount of €350,000.

Manufacturing Dispute Defective Components (New Zealand / France)

A foreign company faced persistent non-payment of substantial invoices by a French customer. We initiated urgent debt-collection proceedings in France, obtained a freezing order over the debtor’s bank accounts, and secured full payment of the outstanding invoices - over €100,000 recovered.

Unpaid Invoices Asset-Freezing Measures (Over €100,000 recovered)

A client purchased an online business from a French seller who had misrepresented the asset’s performance and future viability. After receiving the payment, the seller progressively abandoned operations and stopped responding entirely. We pursued litigation, obtained a judgment against the seller, and ultimately recovered our client’s funds.

Fraudulent Business Sale Misrepresentation & Non-Performance

A client who held a minority stake in a company was pressured by the majority shareholder to sell his shares for €400,000, with the threat of eliminating his position through a coup d’accordéon procedure. By enforcing the shareholders’ agreement and applying the relevant provisions of French law, we secured a final purchase price of €1,800,000 for our client’s shares.

Investment in a French Company Shareholder Dispute

An international logistics provider suffered losses after goods transported through France were damaged due to improper handling by a subcontractor. We established liability, coordinated expert examinations, and secured a €180,000 settlement from the responsible party’s insurer.

Exceptional 4.8 rating

Despite a favourable judgment ordering payment of €120,000, the debtor company refused to comply voluntarily. We coordinated the enforcement phase by appointing a French bailiff, identifying the debtor’s bank accounts and assets, initiating seizure measures, responding to procedural challenges raised by the debtor. Funds were successfully seized directly from the debtor’s bank accounts. The client recovered the principal amount, interest, and enforcement costs.

Foreign service provider with a final court judgment obtained in France.

The French distributor contested the debt, alleging defects and refusing payment of €60,000. Litigation risk was high due to technical arguments and potential delays. We conducted a legal and commercial risk assessment, then proposed a settlement-oriented strategy, by analysing liabilities and evidentiary risks. We then implemented structured negotiations under French contract law, and drafted a settlement agreement. An out-of-court settlement was reached, securing immediate payment of €45,000 and avoiding lengthy and costly litigation.

UK-based company supplying goods to a French distributor.

A minority shareholder faced a planned squeeze-out through a coup d’accordéon operation intended to dilute his shareholding to zero. The transaction raised serious issues of abuse of majority power and breach of shareholders’ rights under French corporate law. We contested the legality of the restructuring, challenged the valuation methodology, and initiated strategic litigation pressure to block the dilution. As a result, the adverse parties were forced to abandon the squeeze-out strategy and purchase our client’s shares. The shares were acquired for €1,800,000, fully securing the shareholder’s exit on fair financial terms.

Minority Shareholder vs Majority Shareholders – Forced Buy-Out

A foreign company terminated a French sales agency agreement and disputed the payment of outstanding commissions and indemnity. The agent claimed substantial termination compensation under French commercial agency law. We analysed the contractual framework, performance metrics, and termination grounds, then structured a defence strategy based on agent misconduct and proportionality of compensation. Through targeted negotiations supported by legal leverage, the dispute was resolved without litigation. The client avoided excessive indemnity claims and settled on commercially acceptable terms.

Foreign Principal vs French Commercial Agent

A manufacturer terminated a long-standing distribution contract, following repeated contractual breaches by the distributor. The distributor alleged abrupt termination (rupture brutale des relations commerciales établies) and claimed significant damages. We conducted a detailed analysis of the commercial relationship, duration, dependency, and notice periods under French competition and commercial law. A robust legal position was asserted, supported by documented breaches and proportional notice arguments. The dispute was resolved through negotiation, avoiding court proceedings and limiting financial exposure.

Manufacturer vs French Distributor – Abrupt Termination Claim

A franchisor terminated a franchise agreement due to repeated non-compliance with brand standards and payment obligations. The franchisee contested the termination and threatened litigation for loss of business. We assessed contractual termination clauses, compliance evidence, and brand protection issues. A legally secure termination strategy was implemented, including formal notices and post-termination obligations (non-compete, de-branding). The matter was resolved without litigation, preserving the integrity of the franchise network.

Franchisor vs Franchisee – Network Protection

A foreign company discovered unauthorized use of its trademark by a French business, creating confusion in the market and reputational risk. We conducted an infringement analysis, gathered evidence, and initiated a cease-and-desist strategy under French and EU IP law. Following formal legal action and negotiation, the infringing party ceased use of the trademark, withdrew the products, and agreed to financial compensation. The client’s IP rights were effectively enforced without the need for full-scale litigation.
