  • We provide the clients with full spectrum of services aimed to ensure competition law and state aid compliance and avoid violations and administrative fines and compensation of civil damages.
  • We also use competition law as a means to defend our clients against abusive practices of other market players – suppliers or competitors, or clients.
  • We advise on competition law compliant sales of goods and services practices and transaction documents. We also draft competition law compliance guidelines, carry out competition law audits and do competition law trainings (including dawn raids). We defend our clients before the competition authorities during dawn raids, investigations and disputes with these authorities and courts.
