We are committed to a 360º vision of competition law, combining experience in public enforcement, private enforcement, and compliance and internal investigations.
Public enforcement: We provide ongoing advice to our clients with respect to sanctioning, surveillance, merger control and state aid proceedings before the competition authorities. We also advise our clients in relation to the judicial review of competition authorities’ decisions. Our team has been directly involved in many of the most significant investigations carried out by the Spanish competition authorities over the last three decades.
Private enforcement: Our team has been involved in actions for damages for anti-competitive conduct in the Spanish courts before specific legislation for such actions even existed. We have acted in virtually every large-scale action for damages for anti-competitive conduct brought in Spain to date. We are recognised as pioneers and leaders in this particular field in Spain, advising both claimants and defendants.
Compliance and internal investigations: Our team has been helping clients design and implement antitrust compliance and risk mitigation programmes for decades. We assist companies in conducting internal investigations in order to detect and prevent conduct that potentially breaches the competition rules.
