Aderhold Antitrust law & merger control
To ensure that everything is correct
Comprehensive expertise in antitrust law
and merger control –
ensuring that everything is done correctly.
We advise companies and individuals on all matters relating to German and European antitrust law and merger control.
In order to prevent antitrust violations in advance, this includes advising on corporate cooperation, contract drafting, and distribution systems, as well as on the introduction and implementation of company-specific compliance measures. In fine and administrative proceedings conducted by the Federal Cartel Office and the European Commission, we represent companies, board members, managing directors, and senior executives competently and reliably from the start of the official or internal investigations until the proceedings are legally concluded.
In addition, we have extensive experience in antitrust litigation. We regularly advise on antitrust damages claims and related issues on both the plaintiff and defendant sides.
In the case of mergers, including joint ventures, we are available to advise on feasibility issues right from the planning stage, drawing on our expertise in merger control law, and we ensure that the review process is as straightforward as possible, even in complex cases. We also have experience in coordinating global multinational merger control notifications.
