  • Strong, court-ready legal argumentation
  • Anticipation of procedural traps and deadlines

  • Strategic guidance aligned with business objectives
  • Transparent communication and predictable timelines

From Legal Challenge to Business Resolution Our Proven Track Record

Discover how we’ve helped international clients turn complex disputes—from defective manufacturing to fraudulent sales—into decisive victories and financial recoveries in France

01

Investment in a French Company - Shareholder Dispute

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.

02

CMR Fraud Defence – High-Value Goods (€3,000,000)

Our client, an international transport and logistics company, was accused of CMR fraud following the alleged theft of goods valued at €3,000,000 during a cross-border shipment. The claim exposed the client to potentially unlimited liability and serious reputational risk. By deploying a robust defence strategy under the CMR Convention, conducting investigation and challenging unfounded allegations, we protected our client from a multi-million-euro claim and preserved its commercial operations.

03

Manufacturing Dispute – Defective Components (New Zealand / France)

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.

04

Unpaid Invoices – Asset-Freezing Measures (Over €180,000 recovered)

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 €180,000 recovered.

05

Fraudulent Business Sale – Misrepresentation & Non-Performance

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.

06

International Logistics Company – Damaged Goods & Liability 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.

07

Technology Supplier – Software Licensing Fees Unpaid

A European tech company delivered software and support services to a French distributor who stopped paying contractual licensing fees.
We issued formal notice, initiated legal action, and negotiated a structured settlement resulting in 100% recovery of outstanding sums plus late-payment interest.

Contact Us

Strategic Clarity Before Action

We begin with a powerful advantage: a complete, unbiased evaluation of your strongest legal path forward, so you invest in a strategy built to win.
Before initiating proceedings, we conduct a detailed legal and factual review to evaluate:

  • Strength of your claim
  • Applicable French laws and case law
  • Risks, costs, and likely outcomes
  • Immediate protective measures (if needed)
  • We then outline a litigation roadmap, including deadlines, procedural steps, and strategic options such as settlement, mediation, or urgent action.

The Decisive Opening Move

We translate your claim into a compelling, court-ready legal argument that commands attention and positions you for success from the very first filing.
To start a lawsuit in France, we draft and serve a summons (assignation) through a bailiff. It must comply with strict legal requirements:

  • Legal grounds and full argumentation
  • Evidence presentation
  • Identification of parties and claims
  • Compliance with jurisdiction and procedural rules
  • We represent clients in:
  • Breach of contract disputes
  • Unpaid commercial debts
  • Fraud and misrepresentation cases
  • Supplier and delivery disputes
  • Agency and distribution conflicts
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes
  • Professional liability cases
  • file a strong, persuasive claim that positions you advantageously from day one.

Assertive Representation in Court

Your dedicated lawyer masterfully navigates all proceedings, crafting persuasive pleadings, presenting evidence, and defending your interests with precision.
We handle all aspects of court representation, including:

  • Written pleadings ("conclusions")
  • Evidence production and rebuttal
  • Procedural motions
  • Negotiation and settlement opportunities
  • Oral pleadings at hearings
  • Interaction with the court and opposing counsel
  • In French litigation, written arguments are decisive. Our pleadings are structured, evidence-driven, and fully aligned with your commercial objectives.

Immediate Protection When It Matters Most

We act with urgency to secure injunctions, freeze assets, and stop harmful actions, protecting your position while the main case proceeds.
In urgent situations, we can request expedited measures, including:

  • Référé procedures (fast-track interim relief)
  • Injunctions to stop harmful actions
  • Saisie conservatoire (asset freezing before judgment)
  • Orders to produce documents or information
  • Emergency payment orders
  • These measures are particularly effective when:
  • A debtor is attempting to hide or dissipate assets
  • A business partner is causing immediate harm
  • Fraud or misappropriation is suspected
  • Performance of a contract must be enforced quickly
  • protect your rights immediately while the main litigation proceeds.

Transforming a Court Victory into Real Recovery

We ensure a favorable judgment is not just a paper win, but an enforceable order that compels payment and delivers the final result you deserve.
Once a decision is obtained, we ensure full enforceability of your rights:

  • Enforcement of judgments through bailiffs
  • Seizure of bank accounts, goods, receivables, or property
  • Enforcement of foreign judgments in France (EU, UK, US, Canada, etc.)
  • Management of settlement agreements
  • Filing or responding to appeals
  • We provide strategic advice on whether appealing is appropriate, based on legal strength, costs, and business impact.
