Our Competition & Regulatory practice focuses on merger control, regulatory compliance and preventative risk management. We support clients in navigating competition law requirements with technical precision and institutional awareness.

We advise on merger and acquisition clearances, exemption applications and negative clearance filings, ensuring that transactions proceed within the framework of competition law. Our approach emphasizes regulatory preparedness at the structuring stage, minimizing uncertainty and facilitating smooth approval processes.

We design company- and sector-specific compliance programs and deliver tailored in-house training. Our advisory services include competition compliance audits, dawn raid simulations and preparedness assessments. We assist clients in establishing internal reporting mechanisms and risk mitigation frameworks aligned with evolving regulatory expectations.

In investigations conducted by the Competition Authority, including on-site inspections, we provide structured and coordinated representation. We guide clients through administrative proceedings and regulatory reviews with a focus on procedural discipline and defensibility.

Beyond core competition law matters, we advise on regulatory regimes intersecting with market conduct and trade, including Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) compliance, state aid considerations, foreign subsidy regimes and sustainability-related regulatory obligations. We also advise on international government incentives and subsidy frameworks, assessing their compatibility with competition and state aid rules and their potential impact on cross-border transactions.

We provide technically rigorous and commercially aligned advice in regulatory environments where compliance, preparedness and constructive institutional engagement are critical.
