Competition

Competition is the basis for a healthy market

The Competition Law Team comprises professionals who boast expertise in corporate law, corporate compliance and intellectual property. This diverse expertise enables us to offer clients specific knowledge and experience across various product sectors concerning compliance with antitrust and competition law, both at national and EU level in cases of:

• unfair commercial practices;
• abuse of dominant position; and
• concentrations.

Similarly to other sectors, proactive prevention is the primary best practice in this field. Lexsential’s professionals handle compliance and internal audits for client companies to ensure that corporate commercial activities align with antitrust and competition regulations, thus mitigating potential civil and criminal repercussions.

Lexsential’s experts assist clients in drafting opinions on the subject and provide extrajudicial and judicial assistance regarding competition law matters. This includes matters related to the establishment or protection of joint venture agreements, as well as extraordinary corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and demergers.

More generally, the Firm assists clients in the drafting and negotiation of commercial agreements in numerous market sectors in which they operate.

Competition and industrial property rights issues

The Competition Law Team assists companies by providing support in the drafting and negotiation of agreements relating to the assignment, licensing and granting of the right to use intellectual property rights, while also ensuring compliance with antitrust law. Furthermore, we provide litigation support to clients, particularly in patent disputes, which often intersect with aspects of competition law.
