About

Provided by Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH

Restrictions on competition agreed by companies are not tolerated in most parts of the world and are often sanctioned draconically. This is why the antitrust strategy for a company should be chosen with foresight in order to carefully achieve maximum success in business within the framework defined by antitrust and competition law. Luther provides excellent advice when it comes to identifying risks at an early stage, identifying and benefitting from room to manoeuvre in the of the full range of antitrust: distribution and in the cooperation of companies, successfully handling mergers and cartel notifications, as well as developing action plans and defence strategies, in particular when monetary fines or damages are imminent. Luther combines multidisciplinary expertise and experience, both in the traditional industries as well as in the digital economy.

Because of our in-depth industry knowledge, in particular in the areas of Energy, Health Care & Life Science, Information Tech & Telecommunications, Mobility & Logistics, and Real Estate & Infrastructure, in addition to our team’s many years of antitrust expertise, we are the ideal partner for your antitrust and competition law issues. This is underlined by the fact that as a full service law firm we can always involve colleagues specialising in other areas of law, such as public subsidies/state aid law, international trade law or litigation.
