Competition Law

Practical advice in competition law

Competition law applies to almost every business operating in Estonia, the European Union or across borders. Restrictions of competition may lead to significant financial and legal consequences, including fines, damages claims, invalid agreements and complications in corporate transactions. We advise Estonian and international clients on competition law matters arising from commercial agreements, market entry, mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures.

Agreements, transactions and competition risk

Competition law can affect how agreements are structured, transactions are carried out and businesses operate in the market. Even a commercially attractive arrangement may create legal risks if it restricts competition, affects market access or requires notification to a competition authority.

We advise clients on compliance with Estonian and EU competition rules, helping them assess contractual restrictions, market conduct and transaction-related requirements. Where necessary, we review and prepare agreements, support negotiations, coordinate merger control filings and represent clients before competition authorities, courts and arbitral tribunals.
