Commercial contracts
Every company has to deal with commercial forms of cooperation. Companies enter into relationships with customers, suppliers and partners. These agreements are of great importance for the success of the relationship, but also if the relationship comes to an end. We have years of experience in drawing up agreements, advising on and litigating for national and international clients. Our expertise includes tort law, terms and conditions, consumer law, licensing agreements, product liability, manufacturing and development (R&D) agreements, sponsorship, marketing and advertising agreements, publishing agreements, sales agreements and supplier warranties. We have specialized legal knowledge about commercial cooperation in new markets, such as e-commerce, online sales channels, affiliate marketing and online platforms. For international matters or aspects, we have a worldwide network of specialized lawyers.
