Competition & EU

One-stop-shop solution for competition law needs

Competition and regulatory authorities now possess far-reaching powers to investigate companies and commercial arrangements, prohibit M&A deals, force divestment of merged businesses, review markets and impose penalties. There is the additional risk of private enforcement such as substantial (follow-on) antitrust damages claims. Being compliant and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies is key.  

We focus not only on problem solving but also on how you can avoid problems in the first place. Our team of competition lawyers in Russia and beyond has extensive experience in helping navigate these difficult paths so that you can focus on your business. We act for clients in all areas of competition law: 

  • cartels
  • distribution agreements
  • agreements comprising horizontal and vertical restraints
  • abuse of dominance
  • merger control
  • private enforcement
  • state aid 
  • investigations
  • compliance

Our sector approach helps us understand your business environment and get to grips with your issues.
