Our competition law specialists advise domestic and foreign clients before the Swiss Competition Commission and before civil courts. Many of our clients are market leaders on the domestic markets and we therefore know the legal and economic impact of Swiss competition law on such firms. We regularly represent our clients in merger control filings before the Swiss Competition Commission. Furthermore, our team is experienced in advising clients in proceedings related to sector specific regulations of the energy and telecommunication markets. We counsel clients in the following areas:

• Representation of clients in administrative proceedings before the Swiss Competition Commission (cartels, vertical agreements, abuse of dominance, whistle blowing, dawn raids)
• Merger control notification
• Civil antitrust litigation / private enforcement of competition law
• Implementation of antitrust compliance programs / antitrust compliance audits
• Structuring of distribution and licensing agreements
• Representation of clients in investigations before sector specific regulatory bodies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (ComCom) and the Swiss Electricity Commission (ElCom)
