Legal Advice in Competition Law, Antitrust Law and Intellectual Property Law

Our legal advice encompasses the review of the permissibility of distribution and advertising measures, advice on unfair competition, and support in competition law disputes and interim injunction proceedings. We represent clients before national and international competition authorities and provide expert opinions on complex contractual frameworks, in particular licensing agreements, distribution and franchise agreements. As antitrust law attorneys, we advise on competition law questions, on the abuse of a dominant market position and in the context of state aid proceedings. Clients can equally rely on our expertise in the competition law planning and execution of domestic and international M&A transactions as well as in merger control proceedings.

In addition, hba Rechtsanwälte comprehensively accompanies you in the protection of your intellectual property. Whether trademark law, copyright, patents, designs or utility models: as lawyers with deep expertise in intellectual property law, we secure your rights, accompany you in the national and international registration of intellectual property rights, and defend your intellectual property resolutely in the event of a dispute. We also stand immediately and decisively by your side in the event of a competition law cease-and-desist letter and initiate all necessary legal steps.

Building on a comprehensive understanding of your business model, hba advises in particular technology-intensive companies and start-ups in the areas of IP, IT and e-commerce. Our legal advice is always practical, forward-looking and tailored to the specific needs of your company. Comprehensive at hba Rechtsanwälte truly means comprehensive.
