My main areas of practice

I advise on all areas of German and European Antitrust Law. My experience in this area includes

• the conduct of German, European and international merger control proceedings;
• the general antitrust support of transactions;
• the defence of companies in cartel fine proceedings and the preparation of leniency applications;
• the defence against antitrust damages claims and the assertion of antitrust damages in court;
• the assessment of behaviour in accordance with the prohibition of abuse under Antitrust Law;
• the structuring of distribution systems under Antitrust Law (including in the area of agricultural Antitrust Law);
• the development of online platforms; and
• the design of compliance systems that comply with Antitrust Law.

In addition, I regularly advise on issues relating to investment audits by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) in accordance with the AWG/AWV. This includes advice on the transaction structure, the review of existing reporting obligations and the implementation of investment control reporting procedures at the BMWK.
