Antitrust law creates risks, but also opportunities for your company. Our goal is to help you effectively avoid such risks. That’s why, like you, we take an entrepreneurial approach when developing sustainable ways for your company to achieve its business goals without falling foul of antitrust law.
Our antitrust team advises on state aid and subsidy law matters and assists with applications and administrative proceedings before national and international authorities. You can call on our experts from our offices in Germany, Belgium, Russia and China, as well as the antitrust experts of our ADVANT Alliance.
The ADVANT Beiten Brussels office has many years of experience and deep specialist knowledge of state aid measures and investigations by the European Commission. Often, we can find amicable solutions with the EU institutions for our clients. You can rely on our expertise on how best to respond, for example, when the European Commission requests information as part of an investigation into restrictions of competition. We are familiar with the antitrust, merger control and state aid rules of the European Union and those at member state level, and support our clients throughout the relevant application and approval procedures for planned investments.
Where it is impossible to reach an understanding, we represent clients from one source in proceedings before the European General Court (EGC) and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the legality of Commission decisions. Our expertise in litigation before the EU Courts – all from one source – is significant.
Our early warning systems clarify recent developments in EU law and whether action is needed. This allows us to inform our clients swiftly and help them respond appropriately and proactively. In addition, we advocate for changes to (draft) legislation in the interests of our clients.
