Antitrust, Competition and Trade lawyers

Competition and regulatory authorities now possess far-reaching powers to investigate companies and commercial arrangements, prohibit M&A deals, force divestment of merged businesses, review markets and impose penalties. Being compliant and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies is key to companies and individuals doing business in China, Europe and beyond.  We focus not only on problem solving but also on how you can avoid problems in the first place. Our award-winning team of competition lawyers has extensive experience in helping navigate these difficult paths so that you can focus on your business. We have in-depth knowledge of competition rules across different countries and markets.

Businesses that operate in China are still coming to grips with the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law, which prohibits business operators from engaging in anti-competitive activities. To help our clients avoid such risks as serious legal liability, opening themselves to challenges in court and large fines, our group of experts provide you with solutions and advice in the full spectrum of competition issues. From merger control reviews and filings to screening and draft of various commercial agreements, from competition and anti-trust law compliance to representation before competition authorities and courts at both national and European level, we offer a one-stop-shop solution to clients for all their competition law needs. Besides, our sector approach helps us understand your business environment and get to grips with your issues. Our many clients come from industries such as banking and finance institutions, automotive, utility companies, media and telecommunications, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, logistics, aerospace, construction and sports.
