Thanks to our in-depth experience in EU Competition law, we assist clients to help them ensure that they comply with Competition law whilst achieving their business objectives.
Our expertise covers the whole spectrum of EU Competition issues: antitrust, State aid, public services and services of general economic interest, merger control, with a particular focus on antitrust and State aid compliance and litigation, being among the select group of firms with in-depth knowledge and experience of State aid law. We provide pragmatic advice to prevent clients’ exposure to Competition law risks, and represent clients in judicial and administrative proceedings before the EU and national Courts, the European Commission and the national competition authorities.
We assist companies and associations in building and reinforcing credible antitrust compliance programmes to reduce risks of infringements. We provide tailored assistance as regards compliance and complaints under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. We support clients with merger control review, filings and submissions. We advise granting authorities, beneficiaries and interested third parties in State aid matters and assess compatibility grounds for individual measures and regimes. Our lawyers have consolidated experience in assisting public sector clients with the drafting of SGEIs entrusting arrangements. We also advise clients on Foreign Direct Investment and their compatibility under national and EU law and on compliance with the recent Foreign Subsidy Regulation.
