Brussels

We advise on all aspects of EU and UK competition law.

In particular, we handle notifications to the European Commission under the EC Merger Regulation and represent clients facing complaints and investigations under Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty (and equivalent national laws) and the rules of State aid. We also monitor other EU developments and maintain regular contact with Commission officials.

Our relationships with other EU competition practices means that we are exceptionally well-placed to deal with cross-border cases and issues raised by the increased co-operation within the European Competition Network (the Network established between the European Commission and the EU Member States’ national competition authorities).
