Manage the termination of the sales agent contract

You are at the head of a network of sales agents and you want to end an agency contract? The termination of such a contract raises many legal and financial issues, in particular the risk of having to pay compensation for customers provided for by Article L134-12 of the Commercial Code. Any error in handling this breakdown can result in significant costs and lengthy and complex litigation.

Faced with these challenges, it is essential to adopt a rigorous strategy to minimize exit costs and prevent disputes with the sales agent concerned.
