Practice
In particular, LCA
- regularly represents Italian and international companies in investigations before national and EU competition authorities concerning restrictive agreements and abuses of dominant position;
- assesses merger projects, verifies the existence of any notification obligations (in Italy, other EU and non-EU countries, or before the European Commission), and, where required, handles the filing with the competent competition authorities, assisting companies in negotiating any behavioural or structural commitments;
- advises clients on consumer protection matters and abuses of economic dependence;
- represents clients in complex proceedings before Italian (administrative and civil) and European courts at all stages of antitrust litigation, with particular focus on actions (both follow-on and stand-alone) for damages resulting from anti-competitive conduct, including class actions;
- provides advice on the antitrust compliance of a wide range of activities (including those carried out at association level) and commercial initiatives, such as distribution, cooperation and R&D agreements.
Finally, with a view to preventing and minimising antitrust risks, the Firm’s professionals design specific antitrust compliance programmes and carry out internal audits within companies to ensure that their commercial practices fully comply with competition law.
