In addition to supply and distribution agreements, these include franchise, license, cooperation and know-how agreements and their design and periodical updating as well as the legal assessment of general terms and conditions. In the area of distribution law, our emphasis is on the laws pertaining to commercial agents and authorised dealers, because competent legal advice is particularly important for both sides in this field.
