Bruun & Hjejle’s competition team is headed by Olaf Koktvedgaard, a leading practitioner of competition law in Denmark, and Søren Zinck, a highly experienced competition lawyer and competition litigator, together with high-profile partner Frederik André Bork.

We advise on all aspects of Danish and EU competition law, including general EU law and EU trade matters, merger control, public procurement, abuse of dominance, and our antitrust practice is among the most acclaimed in Denmark. We have extensive experience with civil and criminal competition litigation, private damages actions (such as the follow-on damages claims relating to the EU Truck Cartel) and cartel investigations (e.g. for HMN Naturgas and Clear Channel Denmark).

Our competition team handles some of the largest and most complex matters in the Danish market. We act in ground-breaking competition and State aid litigation before the Danish courts, the General Court and the Court of Justice (e.g. for TV2 Danmark, FIH Holding and FIH Erhvervsbank).

We also have a strong track record within complex and cross-border merger control and M&A-related topics (such as the sale of Nets to Mastercard). Our merger process is fully integrated in the M&A process to ensure a smooth and efficient process for our clients.
