Antitrust
Compliance with antitrust regulation is an increasing challenge. Conventional topics such as cartel agreements, vertical price fixing, restrictions on parallel trade or the abuse of market power are being given new fields of application by the increasing digitisation of the economy.
Why choose our Antitrust lawyers?
Our international team consists of experienced and specialised lawyers in Belgium, China, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Together with our international partners, we support clients in all antitrust and regulatory issues in the most important trading centres worldwide.
We can quickly and at any time put together international teams for international Antitrust investigations, international merger control in several countries or international compliance projects.
We support our clients in searches and antitrust proceedings in the areas of cartels, price maintenance, market abuse, merger control, investment control, state aid law and public procurement law.
Together with our litigation specialists, we conduct Antitrust proceedings before national courts, the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. One focus of our antitrust litigation is on claims for damages arising from antitrust violations, e.g. in the mill cartel, car glass cartel, steel abrasive cartel and truck cartel cases.
We provide comprehensive advice on questions of distribution antitrust law and support our clients in the introduction or restructuring of their distribution systems in Europe. We also regularly advise on antitrust law issues in connection with joint ventures and competitor co-operations such as research and development agreements, licensing agreements and joint purchasing agreements.
