Competition/European Law

About

Provided by SZA Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz

We have ample experience in handling merger control cases at the EU level and before the German Federal Cartel Office, including the successful completion of numerous in-depth investigations, and are routinely coordinating merger filings in other jurisdictions.

Another core part of our practice is the representation of our clients in complex cartel proceedings before the competition authorities and, if necessary, also in subsequent court litigation. We are recognized as one of a handful of German firms with the required expertise and experience in this area.

We also have cutting-edge experience in defending our clients against follow-on damage claims, regularly forming multidisciplinary teams with our strong litigation practice.

Moreover, clients involve us in an increased number of abuse of dominance cases, both in litigious matters and from a compliance perspective.
