About

Provided by Lambadarios Law Firm

Our Competition law team has established a strong reputation for handling complex and high-profile cases, particularly those involving the increasingly active Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC). We routinely advise both domestic and international clients on all aspects of competition law, including the formation of selective and exclusive distribution networks in Greece.

We maintain good relations with the HCC and are well-positioned to help clients respond to its concerns and requirements. The team has handled a number of high-profile cases, including dominance and price-fixing allegations. We also support clients through the process of merger filing, including representing their interests in clearing merger control and fulfilling any commitments required. In the past, the HCC has been relatively quiet with regards to prosecuting potential cartel and dominance cases but businesses need to be alert to the evolving climate in such matters.

Our team advised companies in the largest single fine ever (€550m) to be imposed by the commission for abuse of dominance, and in the most complex cartel case ever to reach the commission, implicating over 30 construction companies over 20 years. We have also recently worked on cases involving allegations of concerted practices, abuse of collective dominance and export bans in the publishing sector.
