Civil and Commercial Litigation

Disputes arising from contractual liability involve breaches of contractual commitments, which may result in financial penalties or obligations to provide compensation. Tort liability, on the other hand, addresses harm caused by wrongful acts outside of a contractual framework. In both cases, victims may seek damages while defendants must defend against the claims.

SOLARIS AVOCATS advises corporate groups and their executives before litigation arises, when negotiations fail, and throughout all disputes stemming from non-performance or defective performance of contracts.

SOLARIS AVOCATS handles corporate law disputes, particularly shareholder conflicts, challenges to corporate resolutions, or litigation related to balance sheet transactions (mergers, acquisitions, restructurings).

Such disputes can have lasting effects on corporate governance and business continuity. Managing them requires rigorous analysis of bylaws, shareholders’ agreements, meeting procedures, and applicable rules regarding representation and majority voting.

We assist clients in defining their litigation strategy, pursuing settlement solutions when feasible, or actively defending their interests before commercial courts.
