Cartels
We work closely with our clients during all stages of a cartel investigation: from assisting during dawn raids, to internal investigations and evidence analysis, risk assessment and strategy development, and representation before the antitrust authorities and in the courts.
In each case, we take a holistic approach and develop a tailor-made strategy.
Our track record of successful results includes closures of investigations without the imposition of fines, full or partial annulment of the cartel decision and substantial reductions in fines in court proceedings, successful immunity and leniency applications, and favourable settlements. We also guide clients through the challenges of private damages claims that typically follow on from a cartel decision.
With one of the largest multinational competition teams in Brussels and London, we have the capability to assist in any cartel case, regardless of size. Our established network of premier law firms enables us to offer a top-quality, seamless service in any relevant jurisdiction.
