CMS Dawn Raid Assistant

The CMS App designed to assist your business in the event of a dawn raid

CMS Dawn Raid Assistant

We are excited to announce that the CMS Dawn Raid Assistant will be migrating to a new website in February 2025. During this transition, all content, including local guidelines, will be accessible in the new website without the need for a premium account. We will provide more information in due course, and account holders will receive a separate communication. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!


Introducing the CMS Dawn Raid Assistant

As dawn raids are being more and more common these days with authorities imposing huge fines, inspectors appearing simultaneously at different locations or subsidiaries in different countries, at different companies (competitors, customers, suppliers), the CMS Antitrust, Competition and Trade Group is launching the CMS Dawn Raid Assistant to guide you through the essentials in the event of a dawn raid carried out by competition authorities. We updated the CMS dawn raid package consisting of a checklist, instructions and guidelines across 27 CMS countries and combined these in our new responsive web application which can be always at hand. You can now access the CMS Dawn Raid application from your mobile and desktop devices making the app more convenient than ever. Just bookmark to your favorites, or direct to your mobile home screen. In combination with a new, specially developed alert feature to contact CMS dawn raid lawyers at the touch of a button, you can feel secure knowing that we are there for you.
