Competition and Antitrust

Our competition and antitrust practice advises on the full spectrum of European and national competition law – from merger control notifications and clearance, cartel and abuse investigations, distribution and licensing arrangements, to follow-on damages claims and state aid scrutiny. We guide clients across jurisdictions, coordinating filings before the European Commission and national competition authorities as needed, and representing you in court or tribunal proceedings when regulatory decisions are challenged.

We support not only firms seeking to expand, merge or restructure, but also those in highly regulated or dynamic sectors (digital platforms, life-sciences, energy, media, technology) where competition risks are heightened. With regulatory scrutiny increasing, we help pre-empt issues by reviewing commercial models (pricing, rebates, exclusive agreements, MFNs, distribution networks), designing and implementing compliance programmes, and conducting dawn-raid readiness and response planning.

Our aim is twofold: to protect your business from enforcement and private litigation risk while enabling commercial freedom and competitive advantage. We treat competition law not as a constraint but as a board-level strategic consideration – ensuring that your growth is defensible, your models efficient, and your market behaviour robust. You benefit from deep sector knowledge, multi-jurisdictional coordination and a proven track-record in complex matters.
