Dr. Florian Niermeier has many years‘ experience in litigation. He represents companies before state courts and arbitration tribunals in enforcing claims or defending against alleged claims, including, in particular, product liability law, purchasing law as well as regress claims in the supply chain and general commercial disputes. Dr. Niermeier is also an expert in medical devices law. He advises manufacturers, importers, traders and other market actors on compliance with the specific regulatory requirements.

If necessary, he assists clients in notifying the competent authorities and coordinates transnational product recalls. Already in this phase of the case, he keeps an eye on securing and enforcing later recourse claims. One focus of his work in this area is advising on compliance with the regulatory requirements of the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR). This contains significantly more detailed and often stricter regulatory requirements regarding medical devices. In addition, he supports clients in the proper assessment of product risks. It is not uncommon for claims to be enforced or defended against here, especially in the supply chain. Finally, his work includes the (extra-)judicial enforcement and, above all, defense of competition law warning letters and lawsuits for product law infringements.
