About

Provided by Karanovic & Partners

Our team provides a complete range of competition law services, including antitrust and competition law compliance, sector regulation, abuse of dominance, cartels and restrictive agreements, state aid, merger control and competition enforcement, as well as competition litigation. We take a preventive approach by analysing business practices, transactions and agreements to adequately assess the risks of competition infringement.

High Transaction Success Rate

Our competition lawyers have vast experience in assessing, planning and structuring high profile transactions from a competition perspective. We are experienced in coordinating complicated cross-border merger control proceedings, and, in cooperation with local lawyers, we had a large number of cases handled by regional competition authorities. Along with extensive experience in planning and negotiating remedies, this combination of factors manifests itself through our team's regularly high success rates in all types of transactions.

Antitrust Experts

We assisted clients in a number of landmark antitrust cases before both the competition authorities and courts. Due to our regionally strong reputation, we often work with enforcers and courts developing new and existing economic and antitrust concepts. This combination of knowledge, experience and influence, puts us in a position to maximise our clients' business goals, while giving them a significant commercial advantage compared to what our competitors are able to offer.
