About

Provided by Schoenherr

Schoenherr's eu & competition practice advises clients from across all industries in merger control, FDI screening, antitrust cases, non-litigious competition matters, state aid, and UTP matters at European and national levels throughout the firm's comprehensive network in the CEE region, and its office in Brussels.

We have one of the most diverse competition practices in the Romanian market. Our track record includes assistance in virtually all the large-scale investigations and sector inquiries on the local market in recent years, a considerable number of merger clearance procedures, competition litigation, compliance programmes, reviews of contractual dealings, as well as state aid matters.

We combine local and international perspectives, and cross-border EU & competition projects are handled by the Romanian team working together with the lawyers in other relevant Schoenherr offices.
