We advise on pricing policies, relations between suppliers and distributors, distribution systems, and exchange of information and cooperation between competitors. We advise in matters involving abuse of a dominant position, cooperation with antitrust authorities (leniency), and dawn raids by the competition authorities. We also represent managers charged by UOKiK with competition offences.

We advise and represent clients in matters involving protection of the collective interests of consumers.

We also assist our clients in payment gridlock issues, contractual advantage cases, unfair competition, and product safety, particularly in UOKiK proceedings.
