The franchisor escapes nullity for fraud of the franchise contract but not nullity for damages of the sale of the business.

The Paris Court of Appeal handed down a decision on September 16, 2020 which may come as a surprise.

Can a company hire a competitor’s employees?

The employees of a company have skills or a good knowledge of the customers. A competitor may therefore be tempted to offer these employees the opportunity to come and work for it. While such an offer is not prohibited, it may sometimes constitute an act of unfair competition. The website chefdentreprise.com publishes an article by our firm on October 15, 2020 on the rights and obligations of a company that wants to hire employees of a competitor.
