Competition law

Our advice on competition law is addressed to enterprises which plan transactions that may distort competition or include provisions contrary to the competition law. This means especially mergers, share purchases and other forms of concentration of parties showing a certain high level of turnover, as well as various types of contract or agreement templates that may include provisions prohibited by competition and consumer protection legislation.

The protection of competition grew in importance the moment Poland joined the European Union. This has been evident from the increased activity of the European Commission and the domestic Office for Competition and Consumer Protection (OCCP) in this area. Nowadays, most undertakings and investment projects need to be checked for compliance with competition law. Sometimes, a transaction has to be notified to the OCCP.
