About

Provided by Avellum

AVELLUM’s Antitrust & Competition practice has a strong reputation in landmark transactions with leading Ukrainian and multinational companies. Our clients always benefit from our comprehensive local knowledge of markets and relevant legislation. Having in our team lawyers with the previous experience of working for the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine provides our antitrust team with significant first-hand knowledge on how to find the proper solution for the client while dealing with the most complicated cases.

We provide the entire spectrum of legal services that cover every aspect of Ukrainian competition law: merger control, concerted practices, cartel and market investigations, monopolization and abuse of dominant position, unfair competition, compliance programs and audits, antitrust litigation, state aid and public procurement.

Recently we advised:

  • NJJ on obtaining merger control clearance from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to acquire Datagroup-Volia and Lifecell.
  • Knorr-Bremse AG on obtaining merger control clearance from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine for Knorr Brake Holding Corporation to acquire control over Alstom Signaling Inc.
