Be certain with competition law issues

Competition law is an integral part of the day-to day business of companies. It is important to assess the rules in advance to avoid business disruptions. The agreements, strategies and business relations can be at great risk, in case the company has violated competition law rules. M&A transactions and joint ventures must also be assessed carefully under merger control rules to facilitate a successful execution.

We offer deep expertise based on longtime experience in all aspects of EU and competition law both in Finland and on the EU level. Questions that mostly arise relate to, for example, distribution and other important agreements, structural arrangements and cooperation in joint ventures, information exchange between companies in different situations as well as carrying out M&A transactions in light of merger control procedures. Competition law risks can be detected and decreased with an effective compliance program and internal investigations. We have much experience from inspections and investigations by competition authorities concerning , for example, suspected cartels as well as determination of dominance and conduct connected thereto. We often assist in competition law related processes in various courts.
