Plus d’information
Cerha Hempel excels at assisting clients with securing Phase I merger clearances, coordinating these efforts at the Austrian and EU level, and is also instructed in private enforcement and follow-on damage claims arising out of cartel investigations. ‘Star individual’ Bernhard Kofler-Senoner steers the practice, wielding his understanding of Austrian and EU cartel law for clients on both sides of cartel proceedings, where he works alongside Michael Mayer, and with additional expertise in navigating Phase I and II merger hearings. Handling both the defence side of cartel proceedings and acting for clients in relation to merger control matters, Anna Wolf-Posch is called upon by clients requiring competition advice on cross-border acquisitions and for assistance with day-to-day competition issues.
