Restrictive agreements and contractual advice

Our team conducts a detailed review of contractual documentation to identify and mitigate potential competition law risks, particularly in areas such as pricing, distribution, licensing, research and development, procurement, and supply arrangements.

Our attorneys advise in drafting and reviewing agreements and specific clauses, helping clients link business priorities and compliance objectives.

Based on a thorough risk analysis, we analyse the permissibility of arrangements under specific exemptions based on case law precedents and regulatory guidance by competition authorities.

We evaluate the permissibility and structuring of collaborations between actual or potential competitors, whether in the context of research and development, purchasing, production, standardization, commercialization, or other legitimate objectives.

Our EU & Competition attorneys represent businesses in their interactions with competition authorities, courts, and private parties. Whether navigating formal or informal procedures, handling competition litigation, filing complaints, pursuing private damages claims or advise on contractual (settlement) arrangements, we work closely with you to map the most suitable strategy and timing of any proceedings in line with your commercial interests.
