About

Provided by Borenius

Borenius has extensive experience in preventing and handling the risks associated with antitrust and competition law matters both domestically and at the EU level. Our team of outstanding individuals has an impressive record advising on cases involving alleged cartels, dominance, restrictive commercial practices and market/sector investigations.


We advise our clients and defend their interests through all stages of an investigation from the launch of an investigation by dawn raid or otherwise through to appeals and follow-on damages actions. We have successfully represented several companies against competition law infringement based damages claims at Finnish courts of law.


We also work with clients to develop and implement competition law compliance guidelines that are tailored specifically to their business and organise in-house “mock dawn raids”. Furthermore, we share our expertise with in-house and corporate lawyers by providing training sessions, and we have developed a web-based competition law e-training programme called Competition Law e-Training.
