We regularly advise such companies on issues relating to European and UK antitrust law, merger control, State aid, foreign direct investment and the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation regimes, intellectual property protection, data privacy and litigation.
We are also well placed to help industrial sector clients respond effectively to the challenges and compliance risks posed by AI and other innovative technologies, the need to ensure supply chain resilience and meeting sustainability requirements.
While we advise across multiple different industrial sectors, our expertise in steel-related matters is particularly noted.
We have acted on a wide range of cartel, abuse of dominance, merger control and State aid issues affecting the steel industry and have been involved in all major anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations initiated by the European Commission against steel imports since 1986.
Additional experience includes representing steel sector clients in trade investigations in non-EU jurisdictions and advising steel importers on how to take full advantage of preferential trade agreements.
We have also assisted WTO member countries in several leading WTO disputes involving steel products.
Other industries in which we have substantial expertise include forestry (wood, paper and cartonboard), chemicals, oil and gas and mining.
