Commercial litigation
Commercial litigation concerns a dispute which has not been able to find an amicable outcome by means of mediation or a transaction between two or more commercial companies and which constitutes an abundant source of litigation with multiple stakes.
The commercial nature of the dispute is identified when it concerns at least two traders within the framework of their professional activity. The Commercial Code defines the trader as the person who carries out commercial acts and makes it his usual profession (article L.121-1 of the Commercial Code). A trader can therefore be a natural person, but also a commercial company such as a public limited company (SA), a limited liability company (SARL) or even a simplified joint stock company (SAS).
Commercial disputes cover a very large number of situations such as an act of commerce concluded between a trader and a non-trader (sales contract, surety), or a conflict between partners of a company whose object is commercial.
