Competition, consumer protection and State aid law
Competition and consumer protection compliance (including compliance with the State aid framework) is crucial for the success of companies and the protection of their reputation. Above a given company size, a special focus on regulation is essential, as, in addition to active regulatory and competitive attention, companies are exposed to extremely high fines.
