We assist Italian and international businesses in all areas of European Union law and competition law, providing advisory support and representation, both contentious and non-contentious, across all key EU regulatory and antitrust matters.

In particular, we advise on cartels, abuse of dominance, and restrictive agreements, as well as leniency programmes, block exemptions, self-assessments, legality ratings, and antitrust compliance programmes.

We assist clients with merger control proceedings at national, European, and multi-jurisdictional level, as well as in antitrust litigation and damages actions (private enforcement).

We provide advice on State aid, regulated sectors, and the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital, as well as on foreign subsidies, including notification and declaration obligations in public procurement procedures. We also assist clients in proceedings and investigations initiated by the European Commission, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM), and other national competition authorities, including inspections and dawn raids.

We also assist clients in litigation before national courts and before the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as on competition law aspects connected with public procurement and extraordinary corporate transactions.

We also provide assistance in cases involving violations of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), both before the European Court of Human Rights and before national courts.

Our work is carried out in close coordination with the firm's other practice areas, drawing on the operational support of the Brussels office and on an extensive network of relationships with the European institutions.
