EU & Competition
Compliance with competition law and industry regulatory regimes is part of the modern commercial landscape: understanding how these rules apply is essential both in doing deals and resolving disputes.
It is vital for companies operating in Europe to be able to call on the best competition advice. Our EU & Competition Group has made a name for itself by cutting through the complexities of this specialist area of law, advising companies across a wide range of industry sectors.
Based at our London, Berlin and Brussels offices, the Group’s main areas of work include:
merger control advice and clearances at both EU and national levels;
advice on competition and regulatory compliance issues arising from companies' commercial contracts or strategy;
assistance during investigations by national competition and regulatory authorities and the European Commission;
competition litigation;
advice on public procurement and state aid rules and general EU law issues; and
regulatory advice.
As well as a commitment to technical excellence, we have considerable experience in dealing with the European Commission, national competition authorities such as the UK's Office of Fair Trading, and regulators such as Ofcom, plus significant litigation expertise. As a result, we know how those authorities and the courts approach issues from both a procedural and policy perspective. This enables us to advise on structuring transactions and arguing cases to maximum effect in order to secure commercial objectives. Olswang has particular knowledge of the telecommunications, media and technology sectors.
