Competition law compliance
Compliance with competition law is a key part of responsible corporate governance.
Our experts for competition law compliance provide comprehensive support, both in a preventative capacity, for example through setting up compliance systems and training, and in investigations should a crisis situation arise, such as competition law infringements or inspections by the competition authorities.
Our lawyers are part of the CMS Compliance & Forensic Services practice group, which enables us to provide interdisciplinary, comprehensive advice on competition law compliance.
Instruction and training on competition law compliance
Our team conducts several competition law training sessions every year, on topics such as competition law and proper conduct during inspections by the competition authorities. The individual courses are based on the client’s specific requirements. Training can be delivered at your premises or online, depending on your needs
Inspections by the competition authorities
Inspections by the competition authorities
The CMS Dawn Raid Service provides training and on-site support for the event of an inspection. Our service includes:
- Practical guidelines for reception staff and your internal dawn raid response team. If required, we would be pleased to review your own documentation and provide further customised guidance.
- Training sessions that provide an overview of what happens during an inspection and how serious mistakes can be avoided. This training course can be delivered online or at your premises.
- Dawn raid network, which provides contact persons for the event of an inspection in all major countries where our clients are located.
- Our CMS Dawn Raid App, developed as a supplementary service. The app covers 27 jurisdictions plus the European Commission and includes the CMS Dawn Raid guidelines.
