Compliance

Back to Antitrust, Competition & Trade

We provide day-to-day advice in all competition law matters to help clients avoid any conflicts with competition laws. We advise clients on the set-up and continuous improvement of compliance programmes. We frequently provide up-to date and tailored compliance training sessions to our client’s employees or law departments (train the trainers).

We also conduct internal investigations and audits, wherever and whenever necessary and with the help of our own CMS Evidence team of forensic experts and market-leading software, Brainspace. The breadth of our international footprint allows us to conduct internal investigations on a national and international level efficiently and effectively.

By working with CMS, clients can be better prepared for potential dawn raids, comply with antitrust/competition laws and ultimately avoid, or in the worst case, reduce fines. Our pioneering proprietary CMS Dawn Raid App provides first-hand advice in case of an emergency. Our exceptionally wide geographic footprint allows us to offer a one-stop-shop support by experienced competition experts for dawn raids (CMS Dawn Raid Network).
