Our Expertise
Commercial Negotiations

As a driver of innovative solutions, Vertice turns the legal framework of commercial negotiations into a strategic business lever.

WHY CHOOSE VERTICE

Commercial negotiation law in France is characterized by particularly stringent regulation aimed at balancing relationships between various economic actors and enabling regulatory authorities to intervene through transparency rules.

Vertice is regularly consulted by clients, public authorities, and professional bodies on issues related to the regulation of commercial negotiations. This recognition highlights the firm’s expertise in this area and its distinctive approach. Olivier Leroy and Elvire Mazet, co-founders of Vertice, are particularly renowned for their in-depth knowledge of these matters, and their opinions are frequently sought at the national level, especially during discussions on upcoming reforms.

The Vertice team’s extensive experience in commercial negotiations, notably in the food retail sector as well as specialized distribution, ensures impactful and operationally relevant advice.
Ahead of commercial negotiations, Vertice supports you in drafting the necessary commercial documents to formalize agreements and in developing strategic reflection regarding the definition of commercial terms and business plans that could be proposed to partners.

During commercial negotiations and following the formalization of agreements, we develop pragmatic and innovative solutions to support our clients’ business growth, addressing challenges and opportunities that may arise in relationships with partners. We advocate for our clients’ interests with the aim of convincing partners of the legitimacy of their positions.

Mastering legal rules to turn them into a lever for commercial strategy – this is Vertice’s approach.
In a regulatory environment designed to facilitate oversight by authorities, Vertice assists you during inspections conducted by the DGCCRF and in the ensuing administrative or civil proceedings (particularly regarding compliance with contractual formalities, the justification of financial compensation, allegations of significant imbalance, and respect of payment terms).

Our team is highly active in litigation involving restrictive trade practices, sudden termination of business relationships, and contract law. We regularly defend our clients’ interests in disputes with other economic operators and in actions brought by the Ministry for the Economy.
With deep expertise in commercial negotiation law and contract law, combined with a solid understanding of economic and commercial realities, Vertice also provides training for operational teams – always with a pragmatic approach to economic law, seen as a true strategic tool.
