With offices in Spain, Portugal, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, our Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment lawyers advise on defense of competition, covering matters such as merger control, investigations of cartels and other agreements, abuse of dominance and vertical agreements.
We also advise on foreign direct investment approvals that can affect security, public order, national defense, certain strategic sectors (e.g., infrastructure, critical technologies and energy) and other essential activities.
We are well established in Brussels since opening an office there in 1986, and we have extensive experience advising major companies in a wide range of sectors, including the energy, financial services, pharmaceutical, food, consumer and retail sectors. We advise on M&A transactions, investigations by competition authorities in different jurisdictions and on complex proceedings in EU courts. We also interact directly with EU institutions on competition and antitrust matters.
Our Latin America team, composed of seasoned lawyers with direct experience in Chilean and Mexican competition agencies, stands out for its participation in many merger notification procedures and investigations. Leveraging our network of offices across the region, we can quickly assist clients affected by actions of a local competition authority, at any location.
In an ever-changing world, foreign investment reviews and merger control are becoming fundamental for M&A authorizations. With a proven track record in European foreign direct investment, Cuatrecasas is strategically positioned to help companies with multijurisdictional M&A transactions.
We also advise on state aid and control of foreign subsidies (FSR), and offer guidance on trade, anti-dumping, public procurement, infringement proceedings and appeals before national and EU courts and authorities.
The lawyers adapt to our needs in an agile and dynamic way. They explain how to apply legal matters in a practical manner.
