Ashurst is recognised as having one of the leading competition
practices in Europe, with top-ranked advisers throughout our teams
in Brussels,
Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm and Paris.
Our multilingual network has a strong track record of providing
high quality advice and achieving successful outcomes for clients
engaged in a full range of matters, including mergers and
anti-trust investigations.
We have extensive experience in complex EC merger work, including
second stage investigations by the Commission and appeals before
the European Courts.
Since EC competition law was modernised and decentralised in 2004,
close relationships with competition authorities at the national
level have become ever more important. Ashurst has notable
breadth and depth of experience in working with the various
national competition authorities in Belgium, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK, as well as representing
clients before the courts in those countries. Our experience
extends beyond the countries where Ashurst is physically present,
with lawyers also regularly working closely with the competition
authorities in various other countries.
