SKW Schwarz' firm-wide focus on innovative topics also becomes evident within its competition practice. The group advises – often in close cooperation with its media, entertainment and IT practices– on issues relating to influencer marketing, medical cannabis and e-sports. German and international medium-sized companies and large corporations can further rely on its expertise in environmental advertising. Oliver Stöckel, who took on the practice lead in 2023, regularly acts in infringement cases and competition law proceedings, where he applies his expertise in trade mark, patent and copyright law. Sascha Pres, who previously headed the team, represents companies from the retail, sports and service sectors before German and European offices and courts.
