Commercial & Distribution Law

We support companies in building legally secure and efficient distribution concepts and structures –nationally and internationally. We draft and negotiate distribution agreements, commercial agency and authorized dealer agreements, as well as franchise contracts.

In doing so, we ensure compliance with statutory requirements, protect your interests, and minimize risks.

We also support you in terminating distribution agreements, clarify commission and compensation claims, and help prevent conflicts at an early stage.

We assist companies in drafting legally sound and efficient agreements with suppliers. We design and negotiate procurement contracts, review delivery terms, and ensure that liability and warranty provisions are clear and balanced.

In doing so, we make sure our clients’ interests are thoroughly protected – from pricing and payment terms to delivery deadlines and provisions for defects in performance.

We also support our clients in ending contractual relationships and in enforcing their claims.

We ensure that your GTCs comply with current legal requirements and are validly incorporated into your contractual relationships. We also review existing GTCs for legal risks and adapt them as needed.

We establish the legal foundations for strategic partnerships and develop cooperation agreements tailored to our clients’ objectives. We design and negotiate contracts that define goals, responsibilities, resource allocation, cost distribution, and rights of use.

To protect critical assets, we rely on effective non-disclosure agreements, secure intellectual property usage rights, and ensure compliance with competition regulations. We define how partners jointly develop new products or services.

Our agreements allow for flexible adjustments to changing conditions, scalable structures for growing collaborations, and clear provisions for ending the partnership and implementing exit strategies. We also include options for future integration, such as forming a joint venture.

We draft and negotiate agreements that optimally protect our clients’ intellectual property rights. We define how licenses may be granted or used – whether for trademarks, patents, copyrights, or know-how.

We ensure fair usage terms, clear compensation arrangements, and mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use.

We also assist in enforcing our clients’ rights, review existing license agreements for risks, and adapt them to evolving legal or economic conditions.

In doing so, we ensure that distribution models, pricing structures, delivery and procurement terms, and cooperative arrangements comply with competition law requirements.
