Retail

The retail industry covers all branches in which goods and services are offered directly to consumers. This industry is constantly changing, partly because of the rapid advance of e-commerce.

It is important for the various stakeholders within this sector that their products or services can be distributed successfully to ensure that they are delivered to the intended target group. We have extensive experience in the area of distribution legislation, the development of a distribution strategy and relevant existing laws and regulations.

We can also provide support with applications for, or disputes concerning, environmental licences that are essential within the retail sector. In this respect, we refer to environmental licences for operations related to urban development, environmental licences for retail outlets, etc.

We can also give advice or manage disputes concerning commercial property lease, intellectual property, buying, collection, etc.

Finally, we have built up extensive expertise over the years pertaining to commercial contracts, intellectual property, market competition practices and consumer protection.
