Competition and procurement law
Specialised Law
Sharpened rules demand greater focus within the companies
The strict enforcement of both the Danish competition legislation and EU competition law combined with the very serious sanctions (among others the possibility for imprisonment of senior staff) entail that the competition law is a field in which all companies must make an effort to abide. However, competition law does not only provide your company with challenges – but it also provides opportunities.
Focus Advokater’s department of competition law is well-established as a leading counsellor to companies in Denmark and abroad within all areas of the competition law.
Our service
It is our vision to provide legal advice with a commercial perspective ensuring that your company’s interests are handled in the best possible way. We acquaint ourselves with your business, the situation of the competition law and the challenges your company might face. That is why our counselling is not restricted to the legal aspects within the competition law but include customised strategies that contribute to competitive advantages within the market.
