Commercial competition law

Competition law imposes restrictions on businesses undertaking mergers or acquisitions, on the formation of joint ventures, the distribution of goods and the harmonisation of market behaviour. We can advise you about your options for conducting business and maintaining and expanding your market position, or provide assistance if you have been disadvantaged and suffered losses due to a breach of competition law by third parties.

The purpose of competition law is to guarantee a competitive marketplace. Under Dutch law, market parties are supervised and monitored by the European Commission and the Netherlands Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM).
Our firm can advise companies and healthcare organisations alike regarding cartel agreements, concentration and merger notifications, the formation of joint ventures, bans on competition, and distribution agreements.
