Rules governing competition are becoming increasingly applicable in all industries. Certainly when it comes to establishing new distribution or import channels, or in the case of acquisitions it is important to consider the relevant regulations and to examine how to deal with them in as practical a manner as possible. This also applies to the assignment of intellectual property rights, licences and the like, for example.

The specialist lawyers of De Gier Business Law can provide advice to professional clients concerning these issues and the way in which to deal with the NMa [Netherlands Competition Authority] and the European Commission where necessary.
