About

Provided by Roschier

Roschier’s cross-border EU & Competition practice advises leading companies in complex EU and competition law matters, including international and national cartels and dominance cases, merger control and other M&A-related competition law, and private enforcement. The lawyers of the practice also have significant experience in IP-related competition law, state aid and public procurement matters as well as sector-specific EU regulation.


One of the practice’s strengths is its broad experience in different industries: the team is regularly involved in matters related to, for example, the energy, forestry, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, healthcare, transport, media, telecom, retail and agriculture sectors.


With its vast experience, Roschier has a market-leading practice in cartel, dominance, and other competition and regulatory processes and litigation. The practice differentiates itself from local competitors by frequently advising Finnish and Swedish clients not only on a national level but also before the EU Commission and the EU courts in competition law matters.
