Validity of the non-competition clause under competition law (cartels, abuse, concentrations)
The non-competition clause is a well-known contractual mechanism, often associated with employment law or business transfers. However, its analysis does not stop at mere contractual validity; it must also be scrutinised under the microscope of competition law, which aims to...Cooperation and competition between credit institutions: legal issues
The banking sector operates on an apparent paradox: intense competition coexists with indispensable collaboration. Credit institutions, while rivals on the market, are forced to cooperate to ensure the operation of common infrastructures and to carry out large-scale financial operations. This duality places...Credit institution law: a comprehensive guide to banking institutions in France
The French banking and financial sector is characterised by a dense ecosystem and rigorous regulation. For businesses and individuals alike, understanding who is authorised to provide banking services is an essential prerequisite. The term "credit institution" covers a wide range of different situations, shaped by history, the...Sale by auction of ships: joint ownership and joint tenancy system
Ownership of a vessel is not always the prerogative of a single person or entity.

For creditors, understanding these intangible assets means...Seizure of business assets: goodwill and business licences
Initiating collection proceedings against a business debtor often involves targeting its most valuable assets. While the seizure of company shares is a well-known option, creditors may also be interested in other assets, such as the business goodwill or operating licences on which the business depends. However, the nature...Entering intellectual property rights: patents, trademarks and copyrights
Pursuing the recovery of a debt often involves searching for seizable assets in the debtor's estate. While property assets and bank accounts spring to mind, intellectual property rights can also be of considerable value. Trademarks, patents and copyrights are just some of the...Seizure of shares and securities: understanding the stages of enforcement
The seizure of company shares or securities is a particularly effective means of enforcement for creditors seeking to recover their debt. By directly targeting the assets held by the debtor in a company, this procedure makes it possible to freeze and then sell valuable assets. However, its...Seizure of partners' rights and securities: complex cases and limits on seizability
Initiating debt collection proceedings often involves seizing the debtor's assets. In addition to tangible assets, a person's or company's assets often include intangible rights, which can be of considerable value.
