Introduction to antitrust law
Keeping an eye on national and European requirements in Freiburg
Anyone running a business in Freiburg and wishing to cooperate with other market participants or to merge should be thoroughly familiar with the antitrust framework. Monitoring compliance with these rules in Germany is the responsibility of the Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt), while at EU level the European Commission is responsible. Both institutions work closely together to ensure fair competitive conditions and to consistently penalize infringements.
Especially for internationally active companies from Freiburg, it is of great importance to carefully observe both the German and the European requirements. The rules are interlinked and require a comprehensive review of all relevant provisions before every merger or cooperation. Anyone who disregards these requirements risks not only high fines, but must also expect further legal consequences.
Lawyers from Freiburg help companies to keep all antitrust aspects in view and to rule out risks at an early stage. In this way, businesses can ensure that their commercial decisions are in line with applicable laws and that undesirable consequences are avoided.
