We give clients confidence in their relationships with suppliers, resellers and customers, online and offline. We review and help shape their distribution systems, pricing and other contractual arrangements, in light of the UK Vertical Agreements Block Exemption Order 2022 and EU vertical agreements laws. We advise on the entire set-up of distribution networks, and we have deep and wide-ranging experience across all competition law issues in the context of exclusive distribution, selective distribution, franchising, sales agencies, marketplaces and platforms, non-competes, e-commerce, dual distribution and pricing matters including resale price maintenance and dual pricing. 

These are issues our clients face on a daily basis. We are their trusted adviser in helping them do so.
