Business Contracts
Every business relationship deserves to be secured.
From an independent consultant’s first contract to ongoing support for SMEs: securing your commitments, whatever your stage.
A contract is not for when all goes well. It protects you the day everything is at stake.
Too many companies sign unbalanced commitments, settle for templates found online, or work without a contract — until a dispute reveals the absence of protection. This offer brings together four ways of securing your business, depending on who you are and where you stand.

Four ways of securing your business.
Consultant Package
The independent professional’s contract kit, to start protected from the very first client.
02SME Legal Support
A legal advisor at your side, from diagnosis to succession.
03Contract families
The right contract for every business relationship.
04Sector verticals
Contracts tailored to the reality of your sector.
Start protected, from the very first client.
The contract kit designed for independents and consultants: the essential contracts to practise with peace of mind, available quickly and at a controlled cost.
Going independent often means starting to work before anything is secured: a first assignment accepted on a simple exchange, no payment clause, no protection in the event of a dispute. The Consultant Package closes that blind spot.
The core kit
- A services agreement tailored to consulting work.
- Clear terms of engagement and payment.
- A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect your discussions.
- The essential clauses: liability, ownership of deliverables, termination.
The customisation option
The core kit covers the essentials; the option tailors each document to the reality of your activity and your clients.
A legal advisor at your side, at every stage.
SMEs often grow faster than their legal framework. The SME Legal Support offer addresses that gap: long-term support, from diagnosis to succession.
Too small for in-house counsel, too large to improvise: the SME is the law’s blind spot. An SME does not need one legal advisor per problem — it needs a legal advisor who accompanies it at every stage.
Diagnosis & remediation
Taking stock of the company’s overall legal health, and bringing up to date whatever has fallen behind.
- Comprehensive cross-cutting legal audit
- Risks and priorities
- Remediation plan
Growth thresholds
Crossing each growth threshold without weakening what you have built.
- Conversions and changes of corporate form
- Anticipating thresholds
- Bringing in an investor
- Multi-site expansion
Shareholders’ agreements fall under Governance & Boards.
Protecting the executive
Protecting the executive as much as the company — because in an SME, the two are often intertwined.
- The executive’s personal exposure
- Separating personal and business assets
- Personal guarantees and security
Directors’ liability falls under Governance & Boards. Here, the angle is personal and patrimonial.
Preparing for succession
Preparing your company to change hands, when the time comes, under the best conditions.
- Legal housekeeping
- Securing key assets and contracts
- Documentation for a buyer
- Support through the transaction
