This note provides a general overview of the law and practice relating to the execution of contracts in France. It considers:

  • When a written contract is required and the mandatory requirements and formalities for executing certain contracts;
  • The differences between a private deed (acte sous seing privé) and a notarial deed (acte notarié) and when a notarial deed is mandatory;
  • How companies, including overseas companies, validly execute contracts;
  • The procedures for conducting virtual closings and for applying electronic signatures to documents.
