The line between admissible conduct and infringement can be thin. Our specialists’ expertise covers the full range of horizontal cooperation or coordination between companies (joint ventures, specialisation, joint production, joint R&D, buying groups/retail alliances, joint commercialisation, standardisation, information exchange etc.) 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 achieve their goals to the benefit of society at large.
