Antitrust appeals & investigations
We have acted in more than 200 proceedings before the EU courts, including some of the landmark EU competition cases, obtaining full or partial annulment of cartel decisions and substantial reductions in fines.
Many of the cases we are involved in concern novel legal points or newer areas of law, such as digital regulation and the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation.
We have extensive experience helping global companies protect their legal interests against allegations of cartel conduct, abuse of dominance or other anti-competitive commercial practices.
From your first interaction with a regulator to appeals of its final decision and subsequent damages claims, our strategic support helps you manage the process effectively.
Using our extensive experience in antitrust investigations, we also act for companies considering complaining to regulators about anti-competitive conduct they have experienced.
If your company has been harmed by a competitor’s conduct, we can help you develop the most effective strategy before regulators and courts.
Our team has worked on investigations conducted by the European Commission, the UK Competition and Markets Authority and other global regulators, including parallel cases by multiple authorities.
Using experience-based insights into regulators’ current priorities, detection and forensic investigation tools, we equip you with a coordinated and consistent defence strategy and guide you on critical issues such as leniency and settlement or commitment terms.
Our advocacy is persuasive, honed through our appeal work before the EU courts and aimed at achieving the best possible outcome for you.
