OA advises corporations and investors on a wide range of competition law and regulatory compliance matters. Our work includes merger control notifications, exemption and negative clearance applications, competition investigations and the development of tailored compliance programs for companies operating in regulated markets.

Our experience in regulatory disputes and tax controversy provides a strong foundation for navigating interactions with public authorities. This background enables us to approach competition and regulatory processes with a clear understanding of how administrative investigations develop and how enforcement risks can be managed effectively.

We regularly assist clients in designing competition compliance frameworks, conducting internal risk assessments and preparing organizations for regulatory reviews. Our work often involves training management teams, implementing internal reporting mechanisms and conducting dawn raid simulations to ensure that companies are prepared for regulatory scrutiny.

Our practice also reflects practical experience with the internal dynamics of corporate organizations. By working closely with in-house legal teams and senior management, we help companies establish governance and delegation structures that allow compliance responsibilities to be implemented effectively across departments.

We also advise on regulatory developments affecting international trade and sustainability frameworks, including carbon border adjustment mechanisms, foreign state aid regimes and evolving compliance obligations connected to global supply chains.
