Shops, services and the events calendar
Rue d’Antibes and the shopping streets in the town centre bring together boutiques, retail brands and local businesses. Professional events at the Palais des Festivals also contribute to business activity in Cannes. For an entrepreneur, the challenge is to align contractual commitments with day-to-day operations: the premises used, the service schedule and payment terms.

Which commitment would you like to prepare for?
Your shop premises
Before signing or renewing a lease, have the permitted use, service charges, works and exit terms reviewed. Explain your plans for the business as well: catering, retail, services or an expansion of your activities.

There is more to the transaction than the price. The firm can help you review the lease, the assets included in the sale, the available documents and the timetable agreed with the seller.
Explore this service ↗Your services and payments
For an event-related service or an ongoing commercial relationship, define the expected scope, approval stages and payments. If a disagreement arises, gather the correspondence and evidence of performance.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions before a consultation in Cannes
Where can I meet Claire SUN in Cannes?
The office is at 21 boulevard de la République, 06400 Cannes. Office appointments require confirmation. You can also request a video or telephone consultation; the available formats and fees are set out on the Consultations & Fees page.
What should I prepare for a shop lease on rue d’Antibes or in the town centre?
Prepare the lease and its amendments, the latest rent and service charge demands, correspondence with the landlord and a description of the business. Indicate the date of your planned opening, renewal, change of activity or sale. This information helps define the issues to review.
I am providing a service for a conference: when should I have my contract reviewed?
As soon as you have a draft and the event timetable. Specify the expected services, client approvals, deposits and proposed cancellation terms. If the contract has already been signed, explain the commitments made and the issue you are facing.
How can I present a proposal to acquire a distressed business?
Use the dedicated acquisition form and include the listing link, your indicative budget, the financing sources you are considering and any known deadline. An initial discussion helps clarify the potential scope of the firm's work; submitting the form does not constitute an acquisition offer.
