Distribution structure - IT/data protection
A corporation’s success depends essentially on the right strategy and proper implementation of the distribution structure. The correct choice of distribution channels requires detailed knowledge of the legal preconditions and possibilities. This applies to the type of sales staff as employees, independent contractors or agents, as well as to collaboration with business partners in the form of cooperation agreements, franchise contracts, and the like. The general terms and conditions in the B2B, as well as B2C, area of such channels need to be adjusted to the business model accurately to minimize ambiguities and liability risks. Providing legal information and transparency to the costumer is taking on ever greater significance (DSGVO; FAGG, E-CommerceG, MedienG, etc.). More than ever, the correct handling of personally identifiable information online and offline is essential.
I gladly provide expert advice on the legal examination and implementation of a customized distribution structure.
Competion/Prosecution
Illegal practices of competitors put your business’ success at risk.
Such violations of the law can include a breach of a distribution agreement, unfair competition, close imitation of a product, misleading of customers or the misuse of your business earmarks (domain, legal name or brand).
Breaches of contract by business partners can lead to severe liquidity shortages and indemnity claims.
We examine ossible violations of the law by competitors and business partners and pursue your interests, both through extra-judicial warning and in court.
Compliance/Corporate housekeeping
Continuous collaboration creates familiarity with business transactions, promoting efficiency and generating synergy between counsel and client.
I offer a comprehensive examination of the corporate and contract legal issues for your current procedures, quickly revealing risks and flaws. This encompasses a survey of legal structures and corporate relations (contract management), an ongoing monitoring of compliance, as well as the review or preparation of necessary contracts for your business.
In addition, I review and enforce possible damages in case of violations of duty by employees or corporate entities including statement of facts to penal authorities.
