01
Record the market and the statement
We clarify the product, target group, communication, competitors and available evidence.
EXPERTISE · COMPANIES, CONTRACTS & TRANSACTIONS
Act fairly in the market. Effectively defend against unfair interference.
We advise companies on advertising, distribution, market presence, competitor conduct and the protection of business assets. Risks are assessed before campaigns are launched and infringements are pursued in a targeted manner.
How can we support you?
A campaign or statement is to be published
Comparisons, prices, promises and presentation should be legally defensible.
What we do for you
Clearly defined services.
Advertising & campaign review
We review statements, comparisons, price indications and communication risks.
Protection against unfair competition
We assess imitation, exploitation of reputation, deception and other market practices.
Trade secrets
We design protective measures and act in cases of unauthorised use or disclosure.
Distribution matters
We review exclusivity, solicitation, market presence and contractual non-compete clauses.
Enforcement & defence
We secure evidence, draft cease-and-desist letters and represent clients in interim and ordinary proceedings.
SPEED WITH PROPORTIONALITY
In the market, a delayed response can cost more than a clear early assessment.
Unfair competition matters lie between creative freedom and legal boundaries. We distinguish between robust competition that must be accepted and conduct against which targeted action should be taken.
How we work
02
Assess risk or claim
