Competition: Domestic

About

Provided by Crowell & Moring LLP

Our European competition and antitrust practice covers the full spectrum of European competition law matters. We represent clients in cartel and abuse of dominance investigations; handle merger filings and third-party interventions in merger cases; handle court proceedings involving competition law issues and disputes concerning regulatory decisions; offer support in strategic state aid cases and provide compliance counselling. We have a particular focus on antitrust litigation, including recovery work, and on the interplay between competition and intellectual property law.

In addition to our EU-level capabilities, we have in-house experience in Belgian competition law, and we can rely on a global network of lawyers across Europe when matters pertaining to other national jurisdictions arise. We have the backing of more than 70 antitrust lawyers in our U.S. offices, which gives our competition practice a truly international scope.

We have excellent working relations with the European Commission, as well as with national competition authorities. Our litigation skills make us opponents to contend with on a national level (e.g., before the specialized Competition Chamber of the Brussels Court of Appeal and before civil courts throughout Belgium), and we have an excellent track record before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
