Advice on Drafting and Negotiating Agreements

UK and EU competition laws prohibit agreements that restrict free competition ranging from the most serious anti-competitive conduct such as competitors discussing and agreeing resale prices, to vertical arrangements at different levels of supply where a distributor is required not to sell contract goods outside a designated territory.

Our specialist competition law solicitors advise clients on their business strategy and agreement terms as to how best to comply with competition law and maximise the availability of Block Exemptions.

We draft, negotiate and advise clients on the full range of all commercial agreements and how their commercial objectives can be achieved whilst minimising the competition risk. For example, agency contracts, distribution agreements, joint ventures, research and development, intellectual property (IP) arrangements, technology transfer, supply agreements and so on.
