Commercial/ Business Law
Production, purchasing, procurement and sales are the heart of an operating company. If only one of these areas falters, this has an effect on the whole company. This effect is further intensified by the globalization of markets.
How do you set up watertight purchasing and distribution structures and how are contractual relationships managed? Which risk avoidance strategies are necessary, for example, in the case of product recalls and how to deal with supply chains and customers in crisis situations?
Due to the central function of purchasing, procurement, sales and production, robust contract structures are essential for companies to operate legally compliant and successfully in the market. Especially in times of crisis, it becomes apparent whether the contracts sufficiently secure the interests of the company and minimize risks.
International contractual relationships within the markets are growing with the advancing globalization. International contracts must be adapted to the relevant national and international trade customs, different legal systems and cultural differences of the contracting parties. Whether it is the regulations of cross-border online trade, which is becoming increasingly difficult to understand, or the increasing complexity of delivery parts in production and dependencies within supply chains - we support you in your diverse business activities.
