Challenges and requirements
It can be a challenging task for businesses to ensure compliance with the numerous applicable competition rules and there is a significant risk of infringing these complex rules. Concurrently, there is a tendency to penalise infringements of competition rules increasingly severely.
How we can help
We have more than 20 years experience in competition law issues. In particular, we have significant experience in the evaluation of agreements and conduct in cases where businesses stand accused of infringing competition rules, as well as applications for the approval of mergers. Moreover, we conduct numerous cases in the fast developing area of civil lawsuits for the infringement of competition rules on behalf of, among others, businesses seeking compensation.
As a result of the input of our legal financial consultants, we are able to integrate the economic aspects of a transaction in to our legal advice, which is particularly useful in larger compensation cases, as well as cases concerning merger control and abuse of a dominant position.
We regularly develop and implement different compliance programmes and training sessions for our clients. Via these programmes and sessions, we educate our clients in managing competition law aspects, often as regards actual problems faced by our clients, and avoiding infringements.
