Competition law

Competition law is crucial for fair and lawful competition in the market. Our law firm offers comprehensive competition law advice to ensure that your company complies with all relevant regulations and can protect itself against competition law claims. We support you in developing competition law strategies, avoiding litigation and enforcing your rights in the event of competition law infringements. With our expertise, we help you to exploit fair competitive advantages and minimise legal risks.

Who do we support?

We can help you in particular if you are dealing with the following challenges:

  • You are starting your business on the German market and would like to know which actions are permissible

  • You are developing a new advertising or acquisition strategy and want to protect yourself

  • Claims have been made against you for an alleged infringement of competition law

  • You claim that your competitor is acting unfairly on the market and want to take action against it

How can we help?

We support our clients primarily in the following areas:

Strategic consulting and compliance

Competition law is very complex and affects practically all of a company's activities. For this reason, it is important to develop a development and market strategy that is unobjectionable under competition law. We help you to identify and avoid antitrust risks by developing tailor-made compliance strategies and optimising your internal processes.

Litigation and enforcement

In the event of competition law disputes, we will competently assist you in enforcing your claims or defending yourself against competition law claims. We represent you in court and out-of-court negotiations.

Secure advertising and acquisition

Advertising and acquiring new customers is one of the most important activities for a developing company. However, it is very dangerous because your competitors will closely monitor your every action and react to any violation of competition law. However, we offer you to prepare a legal and effective strategy that will not only allow you to develop, but also protect you from penalties or third-party claims.
