Competition/European Law: State Aid

Our European competition practice covers the full spectrum of European competition law matters, including mergers, damages litigation, IP/antitrust, cartel investigations, counseling and compliance.

In addition to our EU-level capabilities, we have in-house experience in Belgian and U.K. competition law, and we can rely on a global network of lawyers across Europe when matters pertaining to other national jurisdictions arise. We have experience as both advisors and regulators, and we have the backing of more than 30 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 (in particular in Belgium and the U.K.). 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).
