Competition Law Litigation
Recent legislative and judicial developments have significantly raised the profile of competition law litigation – in particular in Europe. The right to claim damages in national courts for injury caused by breaches of competition law is a reality, which the Commission and European Courts are promoting as an effective means of discouraging breaches of the competition rules.
Our lawyers are experienced in advising victims of anti-competitive behaviour in pursuing their legitimate interests as well as defending companies accused of such behaviour in civil litigation.
At Lorenz, we handle our clients’ competition litigation matters in teams consisting of both competition law experts and commercial litigators – a critical prerequisite to successfully representing clients in this complex and fast developing area of law. In addition to litigating pure competition cases, our lawyers are equally experienced in introducing competition arguments into contractual and other types of commercial disputes.
Using its network of offices and partner firms, Lorenz is able to take whatever action is appropriate to pursue or defend claims in all EU Member States and in the most relevant jurisdictions worldwide.
