Practical perspectives on distribution law

How a distribution network is structured, how its contracts operate and how competition rules apply are questions with both European and national dimensions. EDL’s publications will examine these issues through the experience of legal practitioners working across different jurisdictions.

With a particular focus on the automotive sector and its sales and aftersales markets, this section is designed for businesses, in-house counsel and practitioners seeking clear analysis of the legal issues behind commercial relationships.
