EU- og Konkurrenceret

Practice area
Plesners EU- og konkurrenceretsteam er markedsførende, navnlig i relation til komplekse sager, som involverer betydelige beløb. Vi rådgiver om både de danske og EU retlige konkurrenceregler, fusionskontrol, erstatningssager, offentlige indkøb, statsstøtte, FDI, FSR, UTP og P2B.

Teamet omfatter en række in-house økonomer med højt specialiseret økonomisk ekspertise, der er nødvendig for at håndtere den komplekse økonomiske tilgang til konkurrenceretten. Erfaringen har vist, at det tætte samspil mellem teamets økonomer og advokater skaber enestående værdi for klienterne, bl.a. i relation til de omfattende strategiske overvejelser, der f.eks. skal foretages i forbindelse med komplekse fusionskontrol-, kartel- og erstatningssager.

Vi har rådgivet i de fleste af de vigtige kartelsager, der har været behandlet af de danske konkurrencemyndigheder, og størstedelen af de EU-kartelsager, som har involveret danske virksomheder. Plesner er det eneste danske advokatfirma, som har deltaget i både EU-Kommissionens leniency-procedure og Kommissionens forligsprocedure i kartelsager. Vi har erfaring fra et betydeligt antal af de vigtigste sager om misbrug af dominerende stilling, bl.a. den hidtil største misbrugssag i Danmark.

Teamet har arbejdet på en række vigtige konkurrenceretlige erstatningssager, bl.a. Danmarks hidtil største kartelsag og Danmarks hidtil største erstatningssag vedrørende misbrug af dominerende stilling. Teamet har også været involveret i en række kartelrelaterede erstatningssager i udlandet.

Vi har oplevet en stigning i antallet af store og komplekse fusionssager, og vi har været involveret i de fleste af de seneste fusioner, der har omfattet danske virksomheder med EU og multinationale anmeldelser. Vores erfaring omfatter rådgivning om Danmarks største fusion nogensinde med EU- og multinational dimension samt en af Europas største investeringer i private placement regi nogensinde.
