Band 6

Entering the rankings this year is Falk Schöning. He has extensive experience handling complex global merger and FDI filings before the European Commission and, due to his dual-qualification, the German Federal Cartel Office. He is also adept at assisting complainants in abuse of dominance proceedings.

Falk Schöning has great commercial awareness and does not shy away from giving tangible advice.

I'm a big fan of Falk Schöning, he is our go-to for both behavioural and merger control work. He gives pragmatic and hands-on advice across a broad range of topics.

Falk is pragmatic and result-driven.

Falk Schöning is very responsive and gives clear guidance on short notice.
