Howrey lawyers have established a distinguished track record of representing clients in administrative proceedings before the European Commission and competition authorities at the Member-State level. Clients turn to us when strategic decisions are at issue, knowing that Howrey attorneys will go the extra mile to help them reach their business objectives when competition authorities take an interest in the matter.

Officials in the European Commission and national authorities, such as the Office of Fair Trading in the UK or the German Bundeskartellamt, know that Howrey applies intellectual rigor, a deep understanding of administrative practice and a passion for the defense of the client’s interest to any case they wish to investigate.
