If you are an entrepreneur planning a new advertising campaign or wanting to implement an innovative business idea, there are exciting opportunities open to you. To get off to a successful start, it is worth taking an early look at possible competition law aspects. Otherwise, competitors or associations may put obstacles in your way, for example in the form of warnings or injunctions. Even excellent concepts can be thwarted if important competition law requirements are overlooked in the increasingly complex regulatory framework.

Such obstacles are not only to be found in the Unfair Competition Act (UWG). Violations of other standards are also frequently punished under competition law in warning letters and court proceedings. Legal issues relating to AI, data protection law, environmental advertising, and medicinal product law, or legal tech models are often initially addressed in competition law disputes, as these are usually resolved much more quickly than other legal disputes.

Advice and representation in competition law is one of JBViniol’s core competencies. We have a highly experienced and qualified team of competition lawyers who have been working together successfully for many years:

• We advise on the conception and design of business ideas and advertising campaigns.
• We represent companies in the enforcement and defense of competition law claims in court proceedings, if necessary up to the European Court of Justice.
• We have sufficient personnel capacity to remain effective even in more extensive proceedings or in the event of a particular accumulation of disputes.
• And we actively contribute to the development of the law through associations, publications, and lectures.

Our many years of successful work in competition law have paid off: our competition lawyers advise and represent well-known companies and regularly conduct exciting, sometimes high-profile legal disputes. As a result, they and their competition law expertise have received much praise in various lawyer rankings (JUVE, Best Lawyer, Focus, etc.) for many years.
