Your company has entered into a contract with a partner (customer, supplier, etc.) and you have a disagreement with them over the performance of the contract. We’ll show you how best to avoid a dispute, and how to protect your rights in the event of legal action. <\/p>\n

Read and apply the contract<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the event of doubt or disagreement over the performance of a contract, it is always advisable to refer to it. What does it say? What sanctions does it provide for? <\/p>\n

If you have entered into an agreement with your partner that deviates from the contract, find all traces of your written exchanges on this subject (sms, e-mail) and remind your partner of them.<\/p>\n

Similarly, if you haven’t signed a written contract, keep a record of all your exchanges and the way things are usually done to prove that you’re fulfilling your obligations.<\/p>\n

Negotiating with your co-contractor<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Litigation, while it can have a very favorable outcome, is necessarily longer and sometimes more costly. Negotiation is often the quickest way to resolve a conflict situation. For a successful negotiation, remember that you are within your rights, but offer your co-contractor a solution in which he or she also has something to gain. Be firm, yet inviting, and remember that if you fail, you won’t hesitate to take your case to court. <\/p>\n

Formal notice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Negotiating amicably does not exempt you from sending your co-contractor a letter of formal notice. This acknowledges the situation, and sets in motion certain deadlines which may encourage your co-contractor to be more reactive, and enable you to take legal action more quickly. <\/p>\n

We urge you to consult a lawyer before drafting such a letter. It sets the framework for your potential future dispute, and it is therefore vital that it be drafted with diligence. <\/p>\n

Consult a lawyer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Don’t wait until relations have been irretrievably compromised before contacting a lawyer. A large proportion of the disputes referred to us by our customers are settled out of court, following a formal notice and exchanges between the parties negotiating an amicable outcome. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
