Competition & State Aid

Clients must observe in their business activity a complex and sophisticated area of competition law which has material impact on their business strategy and daily operations. It is unrealistic to expect that our clients’ in-house counsels should allocate their full attention and time to be in line with the development of this dynamic legal area. They rely on legal advice from lawyers who are experts in competition law when making significant strategic decisions.

Businesses relying on the legal advice of lawyers practicing competition law may focus on the sustainable  growth of their business. As a result of such legal advice, businesses are able to fight against unfair trade practices, and not waste resources for investigation and administrative procedures before the Competition Authority.

Our services in the field of competition law include merger filings, abuse of dominant position, distribution arrangements, state aid, cartels, public procurement, dawn raids, and general advice in relation to activities which may result in anti-competitive effects.

Some of our lawyers have successfully advised entrepreneurs in some of the largest cartel cases brought before the Croatian Competition Authority.
