Quelles sont les règles juridiques applicables
en matière de droit de la concurrence et de
relations commerciales ?
Competition law and the regulation of commercial relations govern many business practices. Exclusivity clauses, price fixing, and termination of long-standing commercial relationships are subject to strict rules, and failure to comply can result in severe legal and financial penalties. To secure your commercial relationships in the long term, it is essential to understand the legal principles of competition law under French, German, or European law and incorporate them into contract negotiations and drafting.
Summary
Which clauses are permitted or prohibited under competition law in a commercial contract?
In order to ensure free and fair competition between companies, contracts must comply with competition law principles. Certain sensitive clauses, such as exclusivity obligations, non-competition clauses, and price-fixing clauses, are only permitted under specific conditions. Our competition law specialists analyze your contracts to identify potential legal risks. They will help you draft clauses that comply with French, German, and European competition laws.
When is the termination of a commercial relationship considered abusive and how can it be avoided?
A commercial relationship that has been established may be considered abusively terminated if it ends suddenly and without legitimate reason or reasonable notice. This type of termination may result in claims for compensation from the excluded partner.
Our lawyers will assess the risk of wrongful termination in your current commercial relationships and work with you to develop a secure strategy for terminating partnerships in a compliant manner or preventing potential disputes.
