Competition law
Ensuring the compliance of the business activity with the competition law requirements is an essential aspect of legal security of entrepreneurs. The competition law provisions prohibit agreements limiting the competition and the abuse of a dominant position. The regulations in this field have to be taken into account in merger and acquisition transactions. High financial penalties make ensuring compliance with competition law key when managing the risk.
As part of this specialization we offer comprehensive legal assistance, including the implementation of appropriate preventive actions and compliance strategies. We make a comprehensive assessment of our Clients’ business and precisely identify the risk of violating the competition law provisions and provisions connected with combating unfair competition.
