Competition & Antitrust Law
Competition and antitrust law is among the most complex and high-risk areas of law for businesses. We support our clients in reconciling economic freedom with legal certainty.
Our advisory services cover the full spectrum of Swiss and EU competition law as well as unfair competition law (UWG). We help clients identify competition law risks at an early stage, avoid unlawful conduct, and develop legally sound and strategically viable solutions.
Our services in antitrust law include, in particular:
- legal review and drafting of distribution, licensing, technology and cooperation agreements;
- assessment of market conduct with regard to horizontal and vertical restraints, abuse of market dominance, and other anti-competitive practices;
- advice on merger projects, including representation in merger control proceedings before the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO);
- representation in administrative investigations, sanction proceedings, and related litigation.
In the field of unfair competition law, we advise on unlawful advertising and sales practices, misleading commercial conduct, and protection against unfair behaviour by competitors. Particular attention is given to the intersection with intellectual property and business identifiers, especially in defending or asserting claims relating to company names, trademarks, domain names, and name rights.
