Antitrust Litigation

Description :

We assist our clients, executives, and lawyers in quantifying abuses of dominant position and cartel or boycott practices.

These quantifications may be carried out following decisions by national competition authorities or the European Commission (private enforcement) or as part of more conventional actions (stand-alone) with judicial authorities.

We are sometimes also sought to assess potential anticompetitive damages that may result from a merger or acquisition, in order to anticipate possible objections from the authorities.

Preferred Sectors :

Digital – Agri-food – Retail
