Lawyer Competition Law Saarbrücken

Competition law is often difficult for the legal layman to grasp. Clients are often explained the legal problem using as many unhelpful technical terms as possible. You won't find that with me!

Companies or online retailers often encounter competition or unfair competition law in the form of unpleasant and expensive mail: warning letters under competition law. These letters accuse competitors of having behaved "unfairly." In short, they allege that they have committed a violation of competition law.

Violations of competition law are so diverse that I cannot even list them all.

However, I would like to share with you some classics that are often the subject of warnings:

• An incorrect or missing imprint
• An outdated cancellation policy (it's almost hard to believe that there are still cancellation policies in circulation that have been subject to warnings since June 13, 2014)
• Missing or incorrect textile labeling
• Missing LUCID registration
• Conflicting terms and conditions
• Missing or incorrect electrical marking
• Contradictory information on the withdrawal period
• Artificial leather is called leather
• Missing mandatory information when selling food (especially wine)
  and much more

Of course, the cost-effectiveness of the approach is always the primary consideration. However, the seemingly cheapest approach is not always the best one in the long run.

We can only warn against the hasty submission of a cease and desist declaration: you will pay for it in the end!

Case law requires the submission of a cease-and-desist declaration with a promise of contractual penalty. In concrete terms, this means: If I make the same mistake again, I will pay a painful sum so that I can learn from my mistake.

How high is the contractual penalty exactly?

Well, that depends on the circumstances of the individual case. Typically, expect a high three- or four-figure sum.

In addition to analyzing and eliminating errors, I work with my clients to develop the best defense strategy.
