Ellex is one of the few law offices in Estonia that has a specialized competition law team working in the firm already since 2001 with profound experience in both national (Estonian) competition law matters as well as in various EU regulations in the field. Our competition law team advises clients in relation of all issues related to competition law under national and EU law, including merger control, cartels, price fixing, state aid and dominant position (including excessive pricing). We have also represented clients in merger control cases in front of the Estonian Competition Authority and the European Commission. The firm is also active in advising local and international clients on competition related manuals and carrying out compliance trainings.
We have also advised our clients in numerous complex competition law disputes before the Estonian Competition Authority and in courts. The matters range from excessive and predatory pricing and other forms of abuse of dominant position to cartel disputes. We have also represented clients in competition related criminal proceedings.
