Benedikt leads the practice area Commercial Agreements & Distribution. He counsels clients on entering new markets and on the strategic (re)structuring of their distribution systems, as well as any connected competition law challenges, also in day-to-day operations (pricing specifications, territory and customer restrictions, non-competes, etc.). He has a particular penchant for digital distribution and distribution related competition law. 

In addition, he and his team advise national and international companies throughout the supply chain - from product compliance, market launch and distribution to product recall, always with the aim of avoiding product liability in the first place. 

Benedikt also serves on the editorial advisory board of the Zeitschrift für Vertriebsrecht (Journal of Distribution Law), as a lecturer on trade, distribution and distribution competition law at the Munich Business School and at the Deutsches Franchise Institut (German Franchise Institute). Numerous publications, lectures and webinars attest to his proven expertise in franchise, distribution and competition law, in English most recently for example, "VBER 2022: EU Competition Law for Vertical Agreements" (Springer).
