Antitrust & competition
At VBB, we partner with our global clients to tackle antitrust risks before they become problems. We specialise in providing strategic, results-focused solutions to your EU, UK, Belgian and other EU Member State competition law issues – from formulating tailored compliance programmes to securing merger control and other regulatory clearances.
If a risk has already materialised we help mitigate it. We can defend you against allegations of anti-competitive conduct, and if you have been harmed by such conduct we can help you to use the competition laws to your benefit.
Industry-leading companies come to us for our forward-looking, practical advice, founded on decades of experience operating at the centre of the EU antitrust ecosystem.
Aside from being experts in the law, we pride ourselves on understanding your industry. We have deep sector knowledge in areas as diverse as digital/AI, pharmaceuticals, automotive, aviation, and basic industries.
And as one of the largest competition practices in Europe, we have the size and depth to handle the most intensive and demanding cases.
