We also have a strong antitrust practice spanning the full range of prior advisory services, notification proceedings and the preparation, presentation and performance of competition and disinvestment undertakings.

We have extensive experience providing preventive advisory services in the area of restrictive practices, in particular as regards self-assessment of agreements, alliances and potentially anti-competitive market positions, and preparatory training of partners, executives and employees in firms exposed to potential competition-related contingencies. Where the Spanish or EU authorities may open investigation or sanctions proceedings, we provide legal advice on all relevant matters throughout the process from the inception of the inspection or dawn raid through to administrative proceedings and disputes, and analysis of the possibilities offered by clemency programmes.

The advisory services provided in the area of Competition and EU Law also include legal counsel in proceedings in the Spanish and EU courts concerning private enforcement of Competition Law rules, State aid, and demands for the enforcement of regulations in other jurisdictions.
