Professional background

I advise my clients on all aspects of EU and German competition law, including cartel investigations of the German Bundeskartellamt and the European Commission, leniency applications, abuse of dominance cases, private cartel damage claims, vertical and horizontal co-operations (including distribution, licensing and R&D agreements), as well as on German, EC and multijurisdictional merger control. Further to this I advise on the design and implementation of compliance programmes and represent clients before German and European courts.
