Competition and consumer protection law
Why?
Competition law and consumer protection are among the areas with the highest level of regulatory risk. Improperly designed distribution structures, discount policies, marketing activities, or standard contract terms may result in multi-million fines and significant reputational risk. Properly structuring market relationships and internal procedures helps mitigate these risks and ensures the safe and sustainable development of business operations.
For whom?
We particularly support:
- entrepreneurs operating within distribution models, including franchise structures and sales networks,
- entities holding a significant market position,
- companies conducting intensive marketing and sales activities,
- businesses in the e-commerce and digital services sectors,
- entities subject to investigations or inspections by competition and consumer protection authorities.
How?
We provide comprehensive advisory services in both public and private competition law, as well as consumer protection law. In particular, we:
- analyze risks related to abuse of dominant position and anti-competitive agreements,
- design and review distribution network models and discount policies,
- advise on matters concerning acts of unfair competition, including product and design imitation,
- conduct audits of advertising content and assess compliance of marketing communications with applicable regulations,
- provide guidance on consumer protection, including drafting and reviewing standard terms and conditions,
- represent clients in proceedings before competition and consumer protection authorities, as well as in court disputes,
- offer support in the event of unannounced inspections (dawn raids) and during administrative and contentious proceedings.
We have extensive litigation experience across all of the above areas, covering both administrative proceedings and complex court disputes.
