EU & Competition Legal Services
The law offers important protections from anti-competitive behaviour, including the right to file complaints with regulators and to seek direct relief from the Courts.
We can work with you in order to ensure that your company is fully compliant and avoids sanction.
Our EU & competition law expertise
We advise on all areas of EU and UK competition law, including:
- cartels and investigations;
- abuse of dominant position;
- merger control and joint ventures;
- market studies and investigations;
- competition litigation and private damages actions;
- appeals against decisions by the competition authorities and other regulators;
- commercial agreements and collaborations;
- competition and intellectual property issues;
- competition compliance programs;
- dawn raids; and
- State Aid.
Public procurement law
Public procurement law requires purchases of works, supplies and services of a significant value by public bodies and utilities companies to be put out to a fair and transparent competitive tender.
We can assist you in achieving your buying objectives quickly, easily and without challenge. We frequently challenge flawed tendering processes on behalf of suppliers, overturning defective award and exclusion decisions.
We advise on the EU Public Sector and Utilities Directives, as well as on tenders governed by specialist procurement rules like the EU Finance Regulation and Implementing Rules (including European aid projects).
Trade, customs, sanctions and other EU law areas
We can advise you on compliance with, and solutions for problems presented by, other EU law and regulations, including:
- rules on trade between member states and on imports from outside of the EU;
- EU sanctions and restrictive measures; and
- customs regulations, and rules on free movement of goods, services, people and capital around the EU.
These issues can arise, for example, when launching new products or entering the market in other EU member states.
