Competitiveness Clauses Are Valid if Clear and Applied With Adequate Notice

November 3, 2025

Cleary Gottlieb counsel Roberto Argeri authored the article, “Competitiveness Clauses Are Valid if Clear and Applied With Adequate Notice,” which was published by ItaliaOggi.

The article discusses a recent unprecedented decision by the Court of Appeal of Turin, which has helped pave the way for stronger competition among national and multinational players in the automotive and transport sectors, and exemplifies how competitiveness clauses can drive business success when they are clearly drafted, applied fairly, and properly notified.
