Your next steps if you have received a warning under competition law

First of all: Take the warning seriously, but at the same time keep calm. Premature reactions like signing the cease-and-desist order should be avoided at all costs.

Within the framework of an Unlimited or Professional membership, our lawyers will clarify the facts as quickly as possible as to what extent the claims made are justified and requiered, and will discuss further proceedings with you as soon as possible.

Do not sign the cease-and-desist declaration immediately!

By signing a cease-and-desist declaration, which usually accompanies the warning letter, you are entering into a contract that is generally valid for an unlimited period! The cease-and-desist declaration is usually formulated so vaguely that a further warning under competition law can threaten an excessive contractual penalty. It is not uncommon for fines in the five-digit range to be imposed. Therefore, before signing the cease-and-desist declaration, seek advice from experienced lawyers in order to avoid these costly contractual penalties.
