Distribution and Licensing are particularly complex due to the nature of the products or services, the sector concerned and the applicable regulatory constraints, further to general contract law, competition law (antitrust law) and international aspects. Such contracts must regulate and facilitate relations while ensuring stability and legal certainty.
