Competition law

In Hungarian legal practice, by far the largest administrative fines are clearly imposed for competition law infringements, which has led to competition compliance and awareness becoming an important focus area for corporate governance.

As corporate lawyers, we support our clients in competition law compliance by providing training and assessing business processes from the aspect of competition law. We have considerable experience in conducting due diligence and reviewing commercial contracts from a competition law perspective. Accordingly, within the field of competition law, we focus on vertical anticompetitive agreements (e.g. setting resale prices, other resale restrictions, information flow issues).
