Market and sector investigations have become an increasingly important aspect of competition law, with authorities focusing on entire sectors rather than individual corporations suspected of bad market conduct. These investigations, which are authorized by the European Commission and other national or federal commissions, aim to identify any restrictions or distortions in a specific sector of the economy. If any such restrictions are found, further, more in-depth research is carried out. Such investigations can take years to complete and can have a significant impact on the corporations involved.
At Chambersfield, we understand the potential impact of market and sector investigations on our clients’ businesses. Our team of experts works closely with our clients to develop a strategy to handle and manage such investigations, from their initiation to their conclusion.
We help our clients prepare presentations to the relevant authorities, evaluate the circumstances, and categorize internal and external information.

Our team’s evaluation of the merger control regime is not limited to mere observation of the rules; we perform an in-depth analytical examination to determine whether the merger control guidelines are binding on the national competition authority, if they can be invoked in court, and if they are consistent with the International Competition Network’s recommended practices for merger control notification and review procedures.
