Antitrust Penalty Proceedings

The defence of antitrust penalty proceedings also demands sensitivity and determination. If that case arises, searches, years of litigation and penalties in millions are threatened. We analyse your risks and support you in the event of searches.

In individual cases, rapid settlement with the antitrust authorities can be appropriate. In other cases, court proceedings may be worthwhile. That is shown by our experience in many cases in which we have been able to successfully defend our clients.

Merger Control

In merger control, we direct the entire notification process up to approval. In advance of national and international mergers, we identify antitrust law risks and develop possible solutions.

Market Dominance, Abuse Controls

We clarify the particular behaviour requirements of companies with market power and develop options for the implementation of strategic company decisions. Companies occupying a dominant or strong position in the market are subject to special antitrust law restrictions including those on the structure of discount systems or the prohibition of discrimination vis-à-vis customers. The possibility of price control arising from the prohibition of abuse is especially important.
