Paris Competition team authors article in 'Practical Law' on competition issues for distribution and supply agreements in France

BCLP Partner Julie Catala Marty and Associate Antoine Meyer-Woerth authored an article published by Practical Law outlining the key antitrust and competition issues for foreign counsel of an overseas manufacturer or supplier of goods to consider when entering into a distribution arrangement in France. This includes a discussion of the antitrust and competition risks associated with common price-related terms, geographic and territorial restrictions, customer restrictions, sales channel restrictions, exclusivity, tying and bundling, and other considerations for dealing with competitors in a distribution context.

BCLP’s Paris competition team regularly provides transactional and litigation distribution law advice to French and overseas corporations. If you would like to discuss any aspect of this topic, please get in touch with the authors.
