Business litigation

Altaïr Avocats assists and advises French and foreign companies in commercial disputes and litigation. Our team is equally skilled in alternative dispute resolution methods (mediation and conciliation) and in the rules of procedure applicable to judicial and arbitration proceedings, particularly in an international context.

Our expertise lies in identifying and implementing extrajudicial and judicial strategies (multi-jurisdictional where applicable) which meet the commercial, financial and industrial goals of each client.

Our lawyers cover all disputes relating to competition, distribution, consumer, intellectual property and digital law.

● Commercial contract disputes (breach of negotiations, forced performance, non-performance or breach);
● Exclusive distribution networks, franchising (or master franchising), selective distribution, trademark licensing, commercial agency, brokerage, commission-based affiliation;
● E-commerce and how it relates to selective distribution and multi-channel distribution;
● Restrictive competitive practices (abrupt termination of established commercial relationships and significant imbalance);
● Investigations by French public authorities (DGCCRF, DDPP, etc.);
● Anti-competitive practices (cartels and abuse of dominant position);
● Investigations and proceedings before the Autorité de la Concurrence (French Competition Authority) and the Paris Court of Appeal (searches, seizures, protective measures, commitments, leniency);
● Compensation for victims of anti-competitive practices (‘private enforcement’) following, or not, a decision by the Autorité de la Concurrence;
● Unfair and parasitic competition (confusion, enticement, poaching of customers, investments and know-how, ambush marketing);
● Promotional and marketing techniques (advertising, price reductions, etc.) and their compliance with consumer law (misleading or unfair practices);
● Actions to protect copyright or trademarks (counterfeiting, invalidity, revocation, etc.);
● Protection and exploitation of complex digital projects.
