Compliance that Creates Value

Competition and compliance are at the core of properly functioning markets — and how businesses succeed. As regulatory requirements continue to expand and enforcement remains active, companies need to navigate the regulatory framework fast to not lose control and opportunities. We help clients compete efficiently and responsibly: building strong compliance foundations, navigating complex regulatory frameworks, and stepping in to manage investigations, disputes, and critical risk situations when they arise.

I was very pleased with the advice, which considered our issue from more viewpoints than I could have wished for and from both an EU and national competition regulatory perspective.

Mastering Complex Regulation

HPP’s EU & Competition team advises international and domestic clients on antitrust (cartels, horizontal and vertical cooperation) and transactional competition matters, including merger control and investment screening, as well as state aid and public procurement related issues. The team also supports tenderers in public procurement from planning and tender documentation to evaluation, contracting and dispute management when needed.

Our advice covers the full spectrum of compliance: from risk strategies and prevention (internal policies, audits, risk assessments and training) to high-stake investigations (dawn raids, authority requests, internal investigations, and enforcement proceedings). The Team is highly ranked by Legal 500, Chambers Europe as well as GCR (Global Competition Review).

Our approach is business-first and practical. We translate complex rules and regulatory frameworks into clear advice that help leadership make confident business decisions. We collaborate closely with in-house teams and stakeholders, keeping processes lean, and focusing on outcomes: reducing and managing risks, protecting reputation, and fostering growth.
