We can support you in all matters of franchise law, commercial agency law and authorized dealer law. We’ll tailor our advice to the distribution strategy of your company and work out the optimal distribution agreement for your business, both nationally and internationally where required.
Our lawyers will work with you to shape your contractual legal position, offer advice on the smooth handling of existing contractual relationships and represent you in legal disputes in and out of court, as well as in arbitration proceedings.
Whatever part of the distribution supply chain you operate in, you will benefit from our broad know-how in various fields of law, for example in trademark law, competition law and antitrust law. A particular focus of our work is on compliance issues.
These days, both purchasing, and sales are exposed to a wide range of challenges. Numerous business practices that were common just a few years ago are now not only unacceptable under competition and antitrust law, but in some cases even subject to severe sanctions under criminal law relating to corruption.
Thus, general terms and conditions of business (GTC), conditions of purchase and sale, incentive regulations for third parties outside the company, commission, and price agreements as well as the fixing of sales and purchase prices are constantly under the scrutiny of cartel, civil and criminal judges.
With our long-standing experience, we support you in mastering these legal hurdles in sales and in successfully selling your products and services.
