Competition/European Law

Bird & Bird Finland has a very experienced competition and EU law team with a deep knowledge of all competition law areas. We advise on all aspects of EU and national competition law including merger control, cartels & anti-trust investigations, public procurement matters, competitive neutrality, and State Aid. Our group is often praised for its litigation expertise, ability to handle cross-border cases and experience in IP and technology related cases. 

In addition to complex litigation work, our team has played a very active role in some of the firm's largest M&A assignments, underscoring our team’s seamless collaboration with our firm’s Corporate team and other practice groups as well. In particular, FSR and FDI related advice and fillings have kept our team busy over the last year. 

Our clients benefit from our status as one of only two major global firms active in this is area in Finland. Our global reach, combined with our strong local presence, enables us to offer market-leading advice across key jurisdictions in Europe and Asia. For this reason, Bird & Brid remains one of the absolute leaders in Finland for handling complex cross-border work and we are equally adept at assisting local clients expanding their business abroad as we are at advising international clients on their operations in Finland. We are one of the few firms that combine highly recommended competition lawyers in all of the major European jurisdictions with a strong presence in Brussels.
