About

Provided by Starlinger Mayer Rechtsanwält:innen GmbH

Business means competition. The rules governing this competition in recent years not only became more international, but also more complex. Competition authorities are well linked and have far-reaching powers. Rule violations have serious consequences for companies but also increasingly for employees. However, today’s antitrust and competition law framework conditions contain not just risks, but also often unexpected possibilities. We help our clients to avoid risks and exploit opportunities. They should not be restricted, but benefit from these rules. When needed we assist our clients before national and international competition authorities and courts.
