European and local enforcement authorities are increasing their scrutiny of companies in many sectors, particularly in matters involving competition law. Businesses need comprehensive advice to prevent unwelcome surprises down the road. Our Competition & Antitrust team helps companies assess and improve the compliance of their operations so they can focus on what is important for them: staying competitive.
We advise on EU and national competition law matters with an eye to our clients' success. This means providing reliable, predictable results, fast. For many years, we have advised and represented on all aspects of competition law, including cartel investigations, merger control, abusive practices, private enforcement (damages claims), co-operation and distribution agreements, and state aid. Organising competition law audits, providing trainings and representing clients before national competition authorities, the EU Commission and courts are among our specialties – no small matter, when you consider that Wolf Theiss has offices in 13 countries throughout CEE/SEE.
