Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
German term or phrase: Interessenlage
In the prohibition of competition section of a contract of employment for a general manager of a company.

Das Wettbewerbsverbot lässt ausdrücklich seine Tätigkeit als Geschäftsführer der XXX GmbH und der YYY GmbH und der ZZZ GmbH unberührt. Kommt es durch diese Tätigkeit zu Interessenkollisionen, so wird der Geschäftsführer unverzüglich die Gesellschaft informieren. Sodann ist eine Lösung zu suchen, die den Interessen beider Parteien gerecht wird. Im Sinne dieser Interessenlagen ist der Begriff des „direkten Wettbewerbs“ eng auszulegen.

(The existing entry for Interessenlage appears to be in a totally different context)

Thank you for hyour help.

With respect to these differing interests (or particular interests) the term "direct competition" must be narrowly construed.
