Commercial agency and distribution
The variety of our clients' business activities is wide. From purchase to sale, from supply to distribution, from logistics to insurance - each of these businesses carries risks of which the adviser needs to be aware in order to act economically, wisely and responsibly to protect the clients' best interest. The comprehensive activities of our clients sometimes result in conflicts of interests with their business partners. Although we aim to avoid lengthy and costly disputes, a court case is sometimes inevitable. Accordingly we have a special focus on complex litigation in all commercial and corporate matters, often with international implications. We have extensive experience in arbitration and mediation across all commercial sectors.
Through our Competition, Regulation & Trade Group, we can advise on the merits of competition law defences to actions for breach of distribution and other agreements.
