The Firm, through its knowledge of the rules of internal law and European rules, appears to be the ideal actor to support you on your competition matters.

Any company, regardless of its size and the scope of its activity, is subject to these binding rules. The Competition Authority, alongside the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control, monitors compliance and heavily sanctions companies that ignore them.
