The Gómez-Acebo & Pombo team seeks solutions in very complicated competition law matters

Legal 500

We have a team specialising in Competition and European Union Law made up of lawyers from our offices in Brussels, Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona.

Our practice responds to the need for a high degree of specialisation in a field that requires advanced technical legal knowledge together with a deep understanding of the commercial reality of companies and market economics.

Our experience in the field of competition allows us to offer effective and in-depth advice, both in anticipating and dealing with complex situations.

We present solutions that allow our clients not only to avoid or minimise risks, but also to add value to the company and strengthen its business lines.

  • Advice on competition in Spain, Portugal and the European Union in all fields
  • Control of concentrations
  • State aid and grant and public funding programmes
  • Private application of competition rules before the courts, including claims for damages
  • Arbitration in competition matters or with aspects of competition law
