Trade & Distribution Law

The contractual structuring of the relationships of a company with its distribution partners and customers is at the core of its business and naturally belongs to our “Corporate Housekeeping“.

We draft commercial agency agreements, dealership agreements, factoring, leasing and franchising agreements reflecting in detail the commercial aims of our clients, of which we have personal knowledge. Equally, standard supply agreements, general conditions of business or purchase agreements are safe in our hands.

Strategic considerations are decisive in the selection of the correct distribution system and its best possible structure. Our nationally and internationally active clients benefit from our long experience in many industries as well as our anti-trust law know-how in which we are acknowledged to lead the field.
