EU, Antitrust and Regulation
Strategic, tailor-made advice to help you achieve your most ambitious business goals
Our EU, Antitrust and Regulation Department provides strategic advice across all areas of EU and domestic antitrust and competition law, supporting Italian and international companies operating in a wide range of industries.
Thanks to in-depth expertise, our team advises clients in mergers, cartels, and abuse of dominance proceedings before the European Commission and Italy’s Competition Authority (AGCM). We also handle matters involving foreign subsidies, State aid, consumer protection, civil litigation, and broader EU law issues.
Merger notifications to the European Commission and AGCM, and international coordination of merger control aspects in multi-jurisdictional transactions through a trusted network of foreign legal counsel.
Investigations into cartels and abuse of dominance before AGCM and the European Commission, including preliminary assessment of conduct and representation in stand-alone and follow-on civil litigation.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) notifications before Italy’s Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Golden Power), and coordination of FDI filings in jurisdictions outside Italy.
Proceedings concerning unfair commercial practices and misleading advertising before AGCM, civil litigation, IAP proceedings, and cases involving abuse of economic dependence, particularly in the agri-food sector.
Advice on distribution agreements, supported by multidisciplinary expertise covering civil law, antitrust, and IP, as well as collaboration agreements between companies (outsourcing, R&D, joint ventures, etc.).
Support on State aid matters and Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) notifications in the context of mergers and public procurement procedures.
