Lawyer helps with written warnings in competition law

With a warning letter due to an infringement of competition law, you are accused of violating applicable competition rules and thereby unfairly influencing the market or putting other companies at a disadvantage. The warning letter is a request from the rights holder to cease the illegal use and not to repeat it in the future.

It depends on the lawyer. In any case, with us it costs nothing to ask how much the representation will cost: The initial consultation is free of charge.

Our priority is to ensure that our work makes economic sense for you. We want to avoid making the matter even more expensive for you than it already is by instructing us. For this reason, we generally offer our clients a fair flat fee for representation in cases of copyright infringement warnings (see right-hand column). This applies in particular to consumers. During the initial consultation, we will also discuss the costs incurred. If you do not understand something, please do not hesitate to ask. We want to make sure that you feel you are in good hands with us.

A flat fee is a fixed fee. If we work for a flat fee, we receive a one-off amount for the work agreed in the mandate (e.g. defense against the warning letter). It does not matter how long the case takes, how many letters we send or how often you contact us - all this is included in the flat fee. The amount of the flat fee depends on the individual case and we will discuss this with you during the initial consultation. Immediately after the initial consultation, you will receive an order form from us stating the amount of the flat fee. This way, you can be sure that it will not be more expensive than discussed.

Whether or not the warning letter appears justified at first glance, it does not help to bury your head in the sand or sit the matter out. The rights holder has decided to pursue the case legally and has appointed a lawyer to enforce his interests. If you do not respond, the rights holder's lawyer will at best send you another out-of-court letter and, if you still do not respond, take legal action.

Depending on the circumstances, the rights holder may even enforce his injunction claims by means of a temporary injunction. As a rule, however, the rights holder is primarily concerned with asserting claims for damages. In this case too, however, legal action must be expected, even if not immediately. Court proceedings make the matter more expensive in any case - often unnecessarily.
