Baker McKenzie advises on domestic and cross-border issues across the automotive, technology, consumer goods, fashion and logistics sectors, including the trade and distribution law support to various clients from the finance industry. The mainstays include the advice on digitised issues, such as e-commerce, the implementation and restructuring of distribution systems – a key strength of practice head Ulf Wauschkuhn – as well as distribution, supply and cooperation agreements and trade and distribution law disputes. Counsel Philipp Schütt is well versed in the latter area, with particularly expertise in arbitration. Katharina Spenner complements this with capacities in commercial and distribution antitrust law, which are frequently called upon in the context of online distribution and selective distribution systems.
