BIZ | LAW – Contract law counsel for semiconductor equipment suppliers: equipment and supply agreements with international chip manufacturers
BIZ | LAW advises equipment suppliers to the semiconductor industry on their contracts with internationally operating chip manufacturers: supply and framework agreements, risk allocation, quality, liability, forecasts and capacity commitments. The firm is based in Dresden, at the heart of Silicon Saxony. Hendrik Kamp, a German lawyer (Rechtsanwalt), spent eight years as in-house counsel in the semiconductor and automotive supply industries. We advise in German and English, for headquarters, local management and project teams.

Negotiate contracts faster and more reliably

BIZ | LAW turns your standards, fallback positions and risk limits into client-specific negotiation playbooks that guide every negotiation. That gives you speed and consistent decisions across teams and sites.
