In the area of cartel and controls involving the abuse of a dominant position, the focus is on developing rules for economic activity so as to ensure effective competition in the market.

We advise companies on how to structure their activities in conformity with cartel law, particularly in relation to cooperation between companies and the existence of an abuse of dominant position. If necessary, we defend company decisions before the competition authorities and courts.

We also advise companies who have initiated proceedings against other companies based on alleged anti-competitive practices and represent them before the competition authorities and courts.

Contact person in this area are Dr. Ines Zenke (Berlin),Dr. Christian Theobald (Berlin) andMatthias Albrecht (Munich).
