EU & Competition

We provide clear and concise advice on UK and European competition law. In particular this is relevant where any parties are entering into a long-term arrangement such as granting distribution rights, setting up distribution or dealer networks, licensing intellectual property, technology development agreements and long-term supply or purchase agreements.

With so much change and complexity in this area it is vital that you have access to experts who can guide you through the maze and help you protect your business.

We advise our clients on whether "arrangements" that they are intending to enter into (whether by means of formal contracts or otherwise)  would breach the relevant UK and European rules on anti-competitive practices and abuse of dominant position e.g. where a manufacturer may wish to set a minimum price at which its distributors are allowed to sell its products, or where a manufacturer may wish to reduce the number of authorised distributors that may do so.
