Competition law and freedom of movement are central to business life. These rules establish economic public order. Either companies or public authorities cannot ignore them.
We have unique expertise. We can assist you in the following areas :
- European competition law ;
- Anti-competitive agreements and cartels;
- Abuse of a dominant position;
- State aid;
- Entry into a reserved market;
- Free movement of goods, services, capital and people;
- Regulated industries (electronic communications, energy, etc.) ;
- Intellectual property ;
- Unfair competition and market practices;
- Consumer protection.
Upstream, we advise you to avoid litigation. We assist both companies (drafting distribution, licensing, research or joint production agreements) and public authorities (advising on the definition of public policies, drafting legislation or notifying state aid measures).
Downstream, we assist you in all stages of litigation (complaints to the competition authorities or leniency applications, injunctions, summary proceedings, damages and class actions). We regularly appear before the courts, the European Commission and the French Competition Authority.
Commerce no longer has borders; we offer a tailored international service. The lawyers in our association can assist you before the courts of more than 25 countries.
