Antitrust translation service
(i) Background: When it comes to mergers or investigative proceedings initiated by the competition commission or the courts, linguistic excellence is a major challenge for all companies. If documents, information and data are not translated with absolute precision, misunderstandings and disadvantages for the parties may follow.
(ii) Commitment: Thanks to the professional support from the Antitrust Language Desk, AGON PARTNERS is a specialist for the translation of multilingual legal documents. Contracts, corporate statements, opinions, leniency applications or merger filings are prepared with skill and accuracy, staying faithful to the text while conveying the spirit of the original, in German, English, French and Spanish.

Funding Lawsuits
(i) Background: Civil antitrust law complaints often fail simply because organizations are unable to cover the costs of ongoing litigation and legal representation.
(ii) Commitment: AGON PARTNERS counsels and supports your company with a view to third-party financing of antitrust proceedings.

Talent awards
(i) Background: Students of Swiss universities regularly deliver the highest academic performances. Regrettably, the bachelor and master theses often simply end up in a drawer somewhere.

TotalCar(e)

The basic package includes, among other things, a newsletter which highlights current developments and court judgments, gives you information about contracts with dealers and workshops, includes taking a look at any documentation you may have - as well as giving you recommendations about negotiation and the best way forward. The premium package also includes legal correspondence and attractive offers to help you with compliance checks and legal representation.
