Daniel Barry
Daniel focuses primarily on complex competition law litigations, including Danish and EU cartel and abuse cases, as well as Danish and multi-jurisdictional follow-on damages cases. His experience includes participation in the European Commission's leniency programme and settlement procedure, coordination of criminal and administrative procedures, and follow-on damages actions in various foreign jurisdictions. Daniel has been involved in the filing of several negative declaratory actions, also known as "torpedoes", that Denmark had not previously employed in competition-related cases.
Daniel also advises on M&A matters, including Danish and EU merger notifications, multi-jurisdictional merger notification coordination, and M&A-related competition law issues. Furthermore, he advises on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FRS) matters.
Daniel always works in teams to achieve the best possible results for clients. In most cases, this includes both other lawyers and economists from Plesner's in-house team of economists.
Daniel is Chairman of the Board of the Danish Association for Competition Law. He is admitted to practice before the High Courts of Denmark.
