Abuse of dominance and economic dependence

We cover every area of abuse of dominance and economic dependence law – internationally and in Austria

The competitive conduct of companies with a strong market position is subject to increasing scrutiny and may lead to unwanted regulatory intervention, high fines and/or legal disputes. We help clients anticipate and address concerns over potential abuse, so they can focus on growth.

Expertise in market dynamics

Many leading companies with a substantial market position rely on our expertise concerning their pricing, rebate, distribution, supply, and procurement policies.

The CMS team also provides legal advice to protect clients’ commercial interests against abusive conduct by their business partners, e.g., in cases of margin squeeze, refusal to supply, unjustified demands.

Representation in legal proceedings

Where necessary, our clients can rely on our expertise in defending their position in proceedings by authorities and before the competent courts. For example, we represented clients in landmark cases concerning alleged pay-for-delay arrangements.
