In market relationships, every time, more frequently, entrepreneurs, managers and businessmen are confronted with unfair competition conducts, primarily performed by competitors. Unfair competition is orchestrated from actions devoid of loyalty and good faith that look for, amongst others, discredit, deceive, imitate or deviate customers, risking the development of business, in prejudice of the competition, and affecting the consumer. In Colombia, this behavior is controlled and sanctioned through legal or administrative actions before civil judges or the Colombian Competition Authority.
Corporations confront challenges to introduce their products on the market. As new technology has become the today’s way of advertisement all the new channels have a direct control under the law.
Market strategies and whatever communication form may require licensing and to abide by legal guidelines in subjects such as environmental law, consumer protection, advertising, and competition law. All these rules could lead to trade barriers, and conflicts with competitors, consumers or some authorities.
Protecting the market in a preventive way may not be enough. Sometimes companies need to face litigation before administrative and jurisdictional authorities, scenarios where it is important to have a capable and reliable lawyer to assume defense.
intellectual property represents a great value to their creators. Businessmen and entrepreneurs need direct protection of their intangible goods due to increase of franchise, market places and e-commerce.
Audiovisual activities, sports, internet, music, written media, content creation and exploitation, technological programming, and in general, public shows, have given birth to the entertainment industry. Even though in Colombia there have not been great legal development in this topic, the exploitation of entertainment activities, necessarily obliges to the preventive and corrective analysis of possible infringement of law that regulate commerce and the market in the fields of competition and economic freedom; information, advertising, telecommunications, intellectual property and consumer rights.
Businesses are settled and running through companies which need to pay attention not only to their marketing strategies but to contracts and documents that consolidate their relationships, in order to provide security not only to the company but to the entrepreneurs, businessmen and managers. Also companies establish standards of business conduct, which become fair competition in the market, and seek to strengthen respect for the environment and consumers. We have reliable allies to offer a continue guidance on international negotiations, enterprise establishment, trademarks in U.S. and controversies solution on an international scale through direct negotiation or arbitration.
Commercial use of the Internet brings huge business opportunities and involves the appropriateness of the activity to legal parameters that enable the success and security of online transactions for both the entrepreneur and the consumer.
