Why call on the services of a Contract Lawyer in Lyon?
The law firm of Maître RAINIO, Attorney at Law in Lyon, specializes in business and corporate law, as well as contract law. These areas of business and contract law, when applied to the company and/or the corporation, require a lawyer to master many other laws related to business life and to the contract concluded between the parties: digital law, labor law, corporate tax law, civil law...

Contracts are an ever-present part of our daily lives, whether as private individuals or as professionals, businesses, managers or company chairmen. A simple contract for the sale of a product or service requires the parties to comply with certain obligations, which differ according to a number of legal parameters: type of contract, sector of activity, type of product or service, etc.
Contract law and special contract law (i.e. 'regulated' contracts such as commercial leases) encompass all the legal rules governing contracts under French law. Contract law is a rich, highly technical field. The ordinance of February 10, 2016 n°2016-131 significantly reformed contract law. While this ordinance took over most of the articles of the 1804 Civil Code and codified certain case law in the law of obligations and contract law, it also introduced new rules, notably concerning the theory of unforeseeability. It is now possible for a party to obtain, under certain legal conditions, the modification of the contract it has signed if circumstances have since changed.
The reform of contract law is one of the reasons why the intervention of a competent contract lawyer is essential to safeguard the interests of the company. The benefit of a contract law attorney is to assist and advise you in the drafting and signing of a contract, as well as in the event of problems encountered by the company.
Maître RAINIO, lawyer in Lyon 2, drafts and revises all types of contracts for professionals, companies and individuals. The law firm's legal assistance may concern a sales contract, a supply contract, General Terms and Conditions of Sale and/or Use or General Terms and Conditions of Service, General Terms and Conditions of Purchase, a commission contract, a brokerage contract, a contract for the provision of services, a commercial lease or a professional lease, a surety agreement, a franchise agreement including preparation of the DIP and assistance with the know-how manual, a loan for use agreement, a commissioning agreement, a depot-sale agreement, a confidentiality or non-competition clause, a partnership agreement, a preference agreement, a distribution agreement (Franchise, Master Franchise... ) or a concession contract.
We offer the drafting of contract(s) with the mention and formalism of the "Acte d'Avocat" and the possibility of electronic contract signature, remotely. Once the identities and contact details of the parties have been verified, the contract is countersigned, either online or in person, by the lawyer and the parties. The dematerialized contract is then stored on the servers of the Conseil National des Barreaux for up to 70 years.
In the case of a deed or contract marked "Acte d'avocat", whether in fully dematerialized .pdf format or in "paper" format, the Law Office of Timo Rainio ensures that the parties have given their consent, and attests to their signature and identity, which it will have verified beforehand.
As part of our support for your company, we can also carry out a contractual and advertising audit, analyzing your advertising campaigns and customer signage to check that they comply with current legislation.
A contract may include articles or clauses that could have serious consequences for one or other of the contracting parties. The contract lawyers at Cabinet Avocats Rainio are at your side to provide you with comprehensive, effective legal assistance, at a fixed rate or fee, defined in advance. Our Contract Lawyers have an excellent knowledge of contract law. We can therefore take on the task of drafting a contract or General Terms and Conditions in French or in English, depending on the company's needs. A lawyer specializing in contract law, close to your company, in Lyon or in the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region, can assist you and take charge of drafting these contractual documents to give your business the best possible protection.
Contract drafting lawyer - legal design :
Contracts signed by your business or company must be analyzed and drafted beforehand to ensure they are effective and protective. Through legal design, our law firm can also help you draft or revise your contracts to make them more accessible to non-lawyers, to your prospects and to those who are uninitiated in the law, by simplifying certain clauses and adding graphic elements. One of the aims of legal design is to make contracts more attractive, easier to read and more comprehensible, particularly for the parties involved. Legal design" is not just about making a contract or legal document more "graphic" or "cosmetic" by adding icons or suitable images, but also about simplifying its terms by getting to the heart of the parties' obligations. Nor is legal design limited to contract law: it can be used in other areas of law, such as corporate law for a shareholders' agreement, or labor law, for example, for internal regulations or a company or establishment agreement via a company reférundum or CSE agreement. The advantages of "legal design" are to enable the customer or prospect to have a better "global" understanding of the deed or contract they are signing, with the aim of increasing confidence and limiting litigation. A contract whose obligations are understood by all parties as soon as it is signed generally leads to fewer legal disputes. However, the main disadvantage of "legal design" is that the "transformed" deed or contract may, in some cases, become a little less secure for the seller/supplier, since it is sometimes not possible to summarize complex contractual obligations... A contrario, in the event of a dispute, it may be easier for one or other party to contest a point in the contract that has been oversimplified due to legal design, but on a case-by-case basis. The other disadvantage is that the contract or deed in 'legal design' form is sometimes longer (in terms of number of pages) than the original contract. However, the advantages of legal design generally outweigh the disadvantages. Avocats Rainio can offer you this type of legal design service. Me Timo RAINIO, a lawyer based in Lyon, close to your company and involved in contract law, will be able to advise you and take charge of drafting your service contract, or any other contract required by your business or company.
Lawyer for business transfers and management leases:
The acquisition or sale of a business is sometimes not possible because of the substantial financing required. In such cases, the legal solution of a management lease may be better suited to the financial situation of the parties to the contract, buyer and seller of the business. A lease management contract enables the lessee-manager to test the business before purchasing it through a deed of transfer of goodwill. An experienced commercial lawyer can assist you with the legal aspects of buying or selling a business, as well as drafting a lease management agreement. Our Lyon law firm offers legal services on a fixed-fee basis for this type of transaction.
Commercial lease lawyer :
Drafting and signing a commercial lease is a complex operation for both lessor and lessee, given their diverging interests. Even if the Loi Pinel has regulated certain clauses, such as the obligation of solidarity between successive lessees, there are still certain clauses in commercial leases that are dangerous for both lessee and lessor. The consequences of poorly drafted commercial leases can be decisive for both the lessor and the lessee, particularly when the location of the premises is crucial to the business, as in the case of a restaurant, café or bar.
This type of contract is governed by articles L145-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. The Commercial Code sets out the obligations of each party to a commercial lease contract. However, the tenant benefits from highly protective provisions: the minimum duration of the commercial lease is 9 years, the tenant has the right to renew the lease, rent is regulated, revised and capped, and the tenant is entitled to an eviction indemnity in the event of termination of the lease or unjustified refusal to renew by the lessor. The assistance of a Commercial Lawyer during negotiations and the signing of a lease, or in the event of a dispute relating to a Commercial Lease, will enable you to secure your business or company.
