EU & Competition

Our EU and Competition law team has a proven track record in delivering strategic advice to clients in both the public and private sectors.

Compliance with procurement and state aid requirements is increasingly becoming a key factor in determining the optimum legal structure for new public sector projects. We have a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions to these issues in the context of a number of flagship projects. In addition, we are seeing public bodies adopting a more integrated approach to competition, procurement and state aids issues - reflecting an environment of greater scrutiny and heightened risk of challenge.

We advise clients in the private sector on the competition law implications of mergers and acquisitions and on compliance with a variety of commercial arrangements.

Our EU and Competition capability is strongly bolstered by our litigators.  They are highly regarded by our EU and Competition client base who regard them as knowledgeable and responsive.

Our service includes advising on:

  • procurement and state aid
  • competition and compliance litigation
  • mergers and joint ventures
  • cartel and behavioural issues
  • compliance and training programmes
  • dawn raids
