Merger control

We advise clients in various merger control cases before the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA), the Market Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. We have experience in complex merger control cases in phase 2 investigations. In addition, we have successfully defended clients before the Market Court when the FCCA or third parties have tried to block mergers. We have experience in remedy negotiations with the FCCA to find good solutions even in the most challenging cases (e.g. in 4 to 3 mergers). We assist our clients by analysing the likely competition law impact and risk of a proposed transaction before entering into a transaction. We also represent competitors and other third parties trying to block contemplated transactions or imposing conditions on them.
