Public commercial law and regulation

No risk, just rules – understood and cleverly implemented

01

Licensing law and reporting obligations

Get off to a legally secure start: the right permits and notifications create the basis for economic activity.

02

Market regulation and supervision

Understanding requirements and seizing opportunities to grow strategically and securely in regulated markets.

03

Regulatory Compliance

Secure compliance with legal requirements to avoid fines, reputational damage or loss of approval.

In recent decades, public commercial law has developed from its traditional areas, such as trade law, into an increasingly comprehensive complex of regulation in the relationship between citizens and companies and the state. Some issues are of a fundamental nature, such as licensing or reporting obligations. Some questions only arise ad hoc during operations; some more frequently, some only once. We will find clear solutions to every question for you that will advance your goals in foreign trade, state aid law, freedom of information law, food law and aviation law, product liability, technical standardization and any other area that is currently presenting you with challenges.

Range of services

Clarity and certainty in public commercial law.

Licensing law and reporting obligations

Not every business activity is permit-free. Many must be approved in advance by an authority, others only need to be notified. We tell you where the boundaries are.

 

Market regulation and supervision

Price regulation, capacity control, network access and supervision. We support you in understanding regulatory requirements and implementing them in a legally compliant manner – with a strategic view of your position in regulated competition.

 

Foreign trade law

In foreign trade law, Russian sanctions in particular present companies with special challenges. Are my products affected? What is still allowed, for how long if applicable, and what is no longer allowed? We can provide you with clear answers to these questions.

 

State aid law

Whether for project implementation, corporate transactions or as a specialist contractor in the application process, the issue of subsidies usually involves large sums of money that can make or break a project. We provide you with a reliable solution.

 

Product liability

Your B2B or B2C product has a defect that a customer draws your attention to. This is usually the starting point for the questions: how do I assess the risk of injury, who do I have to inform, do I have to take everything off the market? We can assist you with all aspects of product and product safety law.

Technical standards

Technical standards shape the development, approval and market launch of many products. We help you to identify the relevant standards and their requirements and to implement them in practice in a legally compliant manner – especially at the interface between technology and law.
