State Aid

State aid control exists to prevent governments from giving unfair advantages to specific companies, which can distort competition within a market. While governments may offer aid for economic development purposes, it can’t come at the expense of a level playing field.
Our team specializes in navigating the complexities of State aid control. We understand the economic analysis and concepts required to demonstrate that aid didn’t create an unfair advantage.

Foreign Subsidies Regulation

In 2023, the European Union (EU) introduced the Foreign Subsidies Regulation to promote fairness in business deals. This regulation focuses on companies that have received subsidies from governments outside the EU. If such a company wants to acquire another business within the EU or compete for government contracts, the EU will assess the situation to ensure the foreign subsidies don’t give them an unfair advantage. Our expertise can help companies navigate this new regulation and comply with its requirements, and ensure that the standstill procedure does not delay deals unduly.
