A particular focus of our consulting in distribution law lies in questions regarding which contractual forms the entrepreneur should prefer with commercial agents, authorized dealers, brokers, etc. We are also happy to advise on the following antitrust-relevant issues: <\/p>\n
Distribution through commercial agents, in particular, offers special opportunities but also risks. Some buyers hesitate or even refuse to negotiate through commercial agents to save potential costs. This view is known in some areas of the automotive industry. In other industries, however, there is hardly any way around commercial agents.<\/p>\n
Therefore, good planning and industry knowledge are always required to see if and under what conditions commercial agents must and should be employed.<\/p>\n
We are happy to advise you on contract design, as well as in the case of contract termination. Here, it often concerns the question of whether and which compensation claims exist.<\/p>\n
Disputes, especially over compensation claims at the end of the collaboration, are not uncommon. Thus, the dissatisfaction of one or both contractual partners is often shifted into this dispute.<\/p>\n
