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

We also conduct audits, wherever and whenever necessary and with the help of our own CMS Evidence team of forensic experts and market-leading software, Brainspace. Our widespread footprint and strong expertise allow us to conduct internal investigations on a national and international level within the necessary time limits, if necessary, even within days.

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.
