Dealing with an association of franchisees
Your franchisees have grouped together in an association.
They seek concessions from you calling into question the organization of your franchise system, amicably, or group together to act judicially at a lower cost and by massing against their franchisor.
We support you in managing this situation and re-establishing a direct dialogue with each franchisee.

Manage pre-litigation with a distributor
You are facing relationship difficulties with one of your distributors. Either he has addressed grievances to you, or he is not or not fully performing his contract.
The situation can escalate into litigation if not handled appropriately. Risks can then arise: financial risks, risks of undermining your ability to manage your distribution network, creation of harmful precedents, image risks.

Resolve a dispute with a distributor through mediation
You are in a pre-litigation situation with one of your distributors. The direct exchanges or those conducted by lawyers did not make it possible to find a transactional solution.
Nevertheless, you are open, as is your distributor, to continue to seek in good faith a transactional solution.
The intervention of a third party mediator can make it possible to make everyone take the step that is missing at the end of the negotiation.

Dealing with canvassing of your distributors by a competitor
You notice that one or more of your distributors join a competing network, either before the end of their fixed-term contract, or after but in violation of a non-compete clause.
You must act to protect your network from new departures that would weaken it, and assert the binding force of your distribution contract.
