EU and competition

We recognise and understand the regulatory constraints under which businesses are required to operate and have the expertise and experience needed to tackle these issues. 

Here’s how we can help

We advise on regulatory issues including: 

• Restructure covenants and restraint of trade
• Anti-competitive agreements and practices
• The importance of adherence to block exemptions in commercial agreements
• State-aid
• Market abuse

In addition to having EU and competition law specialists within the team, we have also developed close links with a leading barrister's chambers specialising in state aid and competition law issues. This helps us to ensure that we can respond quickly to any of these issues.

We are currently advising a major UK consumer product manufacturer on the impact EU competition law has on its distribution and licensing arrangements.
