Commercial Law

Commercial law forms the legal foundation for the business dealings of merchants and companies. It establishes clear rules for commercial transactions, accelerates processes in commercial life and provides the necessary legal certainty - from contract drafting through to the enforcement of claims. Forward-looking commercial-law advice helps to identify risks at an early stage, avoid liability traps and sustainably stabilise business relationships.

A focus of our advice lies in commercial contract law. We draft, review and negotiate national and international agreements - including supply and framework contracts, purchasing terms, service and cooperation agreements as well as general terms and conditions. In doing so, we pay attention to workable provisions on scope of services, prices, warranty, limitation of liability, contract term, termination, confidentiality and dispute resolution. The goal is a clear, robust contractual architecture that consistently safeguards your commercial interests.

In commercial-agency law, we support companies and commercial agents with the legally compliant structuring and termination of commercial-agency relationships. This includes commission arrangements, non-compete clauses, information and reporting duties, territorial and customer protection as well as the enforcement or defence of claims - in particular the often-disputed compensation claim. We accompany you both preventively in contract drafting and, in the event of a dispute, out of court and in court.

In transport law, we advise on the legal framework for transport and logistics services - including liability issues, claims settlement and recourse. We support the drafting of freight, freight-forwarding and warehousing contracts, the review of limitations of liability and the enforcement of claims arising from transport and supply-chain disruptions. In the event of a dispute, we represent your interests efficiently towards contractual partners, insurers and service providers.

A further focus is aviation law, in particular legal questions surrounding aviation-related services and contractual relationships. We advise on liability and contract-law issues, interfaces with transport and insurance law as well as on regulatory requirements where these are relevant to your specific project.

In the area of commercial transactions and sales law, we accompany you on all typical issues of trade and commercial sales: from rights in case of defects, inspection and notice obligations (in particular in the B2B sector) and delay in delivery, through to retention of title, rescission, damages and warranty management. We help to put your processes - procurement, sales and complaints handling - on a legally robust footing and to resolve disputes consistently.
