We monitor current developments very carefully and know which legislative initiatives are currently under discussion. With our well-coordinated team, we can quickly form focal points, effectively pick up on new trends and offer solutions that are optimally tailored to their needs. We regularly compile the most important new legal regulations, practical tips and relevant court decisions in our newsletter. In addition, the members of our “Commercial” team have been recognised experts in the field of further training and seminars – both for practitioners and lawyers – throughout Germany for many years.

Our clients include established sales organisations, medium-sized companies, subsidiaries of foreign groups, legal departments as well as newcomers who want to establish themselves on the national or international market. We also advise in particular on the law governing commercial agents and authorised dealers, franchise law, direct sales and the synchronisation of supply chains and purchasing systems. We support entrepreneurs at all supplier levels in drafting subcontracting agreements. We specialise in plant construction and negotiate and draft project contracts. We have extensive expertise, particularly in mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.

We will also be happy to help you if you are affected by the Barrier-Free Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) with regard to your online presence – especially as a web store operator – which will come into force on June 28, 2025.

Our activities also focus on advising on the selection of the right form of distribution and the drafting of contracts, including contract negotiations with the respective other side of the market. We have the necessary experience in the correct and effective inclusion of general terms and conditions in contracts, the implementation of distribution cartel law requirements and civil law regulations in distribution contracts.
