Competition Law
Large and medium-sized companies encounter competition law in many aspects of their business. They must ensure that their dealings and exchanges of competitively sensitive information with competitors, customers and suppliers do not infringe the cartel prohibition. Failing to do so can result in high fines, considerable reputational damage, civil damages claims, nullity of contracts and exclusion in public tenders. In addition, companies with a dominant position in one or more markets must ensure not to abuse that position. Furthermore, companies planning to engage in mergers, acquisitions or joint ventures potentially face the need to obtain merger control and foreign direct investment (FDI) approvals in jurisdictions around the globe. At Loyens & Loeff, we offer a full range of services to our clients in the field of EU and national competition law.
