Our competition practice is among the premier groups in the Austrian market, with one of its largest and most experienced teams. We regularly advise clients on a full spectrum of complex competition matters, including merger control, cartel defence (including leniency applications and dawn raids), abuse of dominance cases, follow-on private damages claims, the formation of joint ventures and cross-border M&A transactions, internal investigations, antitrust compliance, and various antitrust counselling matters. Our roster of blue-chip clients includes some of the largest organisations in Austria, as well as multinationals from around the world.
In addition to Chambers and Partners, we are also recognised as Band 1 by Legal 500, JUVE, and Global Competition Review.
Thanks to the firm’s affiliation with other top-ranked bpv Legal offices in the CEE as well as specialised firms across Europe, bpv Huegel provides a seamless cross-border service for the entire range of competition law issues arising in European jurisdictions, including multinational merger filings. With our office in Brussels, we also regularly advise in cases with a nexus to Austria or a bpv Legal jurisdiction on a merger, cartel, and abuse of dominance matters before the European Commission.
