Business secrecy: protection that is not without limits

In 2018, rules to protect business secrets were introduced into the Commercial Code. Some commercial information held by companies can benefit from this protection, which is not however absolute. The website beaboss.fr published on 7 February 2023 an article by our law firm on this protection.

Should a commercial agent’s serious misconduct be included in the letter terminating the contract?

Serious misconduct on the part of the commercial agent deprives him of any compensation in the event of termination of the contract by the principal. However, can the principal invoke a posteriori a serious fault not indicated in the letter terminating the contract? The French Supreme Court has recently modified its position on this subject. Explanations in an article by our law firm published on January 5, 2023 by the actionco.fr website.
