Commercial and competition law

Always be one step ahead

• Competition law show

  If you need legal advice on trademarks, patents or licenses, you've come to the right place. Or if you have issues involving unlawful advertising, product liability, data privacy or outstanding receivables, we can help. No matter what sector your company is in, our legal specialists can help advise and represent you from start to finish. That way, you can operate successfully on the market.

• Commercial law show

  Are you interested in having existing agreements with customers, suppliers or sales partners reviewed or reworked? Or perhaps you're thinking of working with local partners to capture new markets abroad? We can help you structure the contracts and make sure that you avoid the legal pitfalls along the way. The same is the case on the supplier side with procurement contracts. Things always begin to grow in complexity when different legal systems and jurisdictions come into play. Fortunately, we enjoy a challenge and can also assist you across borders.

• Full-service transactions show

  If you're planning a corporate acquisition, merger or spin-off, we'll review all the commercial and competition law aspects of the deal for you. We'll verify the legal status of patents and trademarks. We'll evaluate distribution systems and licence agreements. We'll look at how your sales and purchasing contracts are structured and explain the risks they may harbour. This will give you a sound basis for deciding whether the planned transaction makes sense for you or not.

• Litigation support show

  Have you received a cease-and-desist letter from a competitor asserting that your advertising or website is unlawful? Maybe you've been slapped with a lawsuit you believe is unfounded or you're looking to enforce your rights? A team of experienced litigation attorneys will be placed at your disposal to handle your case and represent your interests professionally before the German civil courts or in arbitration proceedings.
