Vertical agreements

We cover every area of vertical agreements – internationally and in Austria

We give clients confidence in their relationships with suppliers, resellers, franchisees, and customers, online and offline. By reviewing their distribution systems, pricing, and other contractual arrangements, we help them remain compliant with competition laws.

Strategic advice and implementation

We also advise on the entire set-up of distribution networks, offering deep and wide-ranging experience across all competition law issues in the context of

  • exclusive distribution,
  • selective distribution,
  • franchising, sales agencies,
  • internet sales,
  • marketplaces and platforms,
  • non-competes,
  • e-commerce,
  • dual distribution,
  • pricing matters including resale price maintenance and dual pricing.

These are the challenges our clients face on a daily basis. We are their trusted adviser in helping to meet those challenges. 

We support and defend our clients in infringement proceedings before competition authorities (in particular with respect to resale price maintenance or customer or territorial restrictions).

We offer competition compliance advice and trainings for distribution teams as well as internal investigation support to prevent such proceedings or detect non-compliance with applicable rules.
