Our top-ranked competition and regulatory practice advises clients on all aspects of EU and competition law, including merger control and other M&A related antitrust matters, cartel and abuse of dominance investigations, as well as private enforcement. We have significant experience in public procurement and state aid matters, regularly assisting clients on assessments, regulatory processes, and appeal proceedings. Providing advice on compliance and risk management as well as a broad range of regulatory matters is also at the core of our business.
With foreign direct investment control (FDI) and national security considerations playing an increasingly important role in cross-border transactions involving Finland, we have established ourselves as trusted advisors in these critical areas. We further counsel on the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation enabling clients to manage its implications early in the deal process.
Our practical approach, combined with deep sectoral knowledge, ensures that we deliver commercially focused strategic advice to our clients in today’s increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
