Horizontal agreements

The line between admissible conduct and infringement can be thin. We advise on the full range of horizontal cooperation or coordination between companies to help clients comply with competition laws or defend their commercial interests against illegal activities by customers or suppliers. We are also at the forefront of advising clients on sustainability agreements to help them achieve their goals to the benefit of society at large.

Horizontal agreements we advise on include:

• Joint ventures
• Specialisation
• Joint production
• Joint R&D
• Buying groups/retail alliances
• Joint commercialisation
• Standardisation
• Information exchange
