Antitrust & Competition

CERHA HEMPEL is one of Austria's leading law firms in the area of antitrust and competition law. Our clients benefit from our comprehensive experience and pre-eminent track record in many of the highest profile cartel proceedings and most prominent Phase II merger control proceedings in recent years.

Our Antitrust & Competition Practice Group advises and represents Austrian and international clients before national and European competition authorities in all areas of national and European competition law.

In particular, our Practice Group possesses specialised know-how in representing clients before the European institutions and courts, in particular in state aid proceedings, and in all likelihood handles the highest number of proceedings of all Austrian law firms.

Our Practice Group can put together dedicated teams drawn from all of our CEE offices, which allows us to be a one-stop shop, able to provide advice for the entire region, something that is especially valued by our clients in merger proceedings.

The expertise and accomplishments of the CERHA HEMPEL Antitrust & Competition Practice Group merit its inclusion in all major international law firm rankings (Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, JUVE, Global Competition Review).
