The ‘extraordinary’ EU and competition team at Gorrissen Federspiel is praised by clients for ’outstanding legal skills, business knowledge, and strategic client support.’ Jointly led by Martin André Dittmer and Erik Kjær-Hansen, the team advises on all issues relating to Danish and EU competition and public procurement law, including merger control, dawn raids, horizontal and vertical agreements, and competition litigation. Dittmer, described as ‘one of the best, if not the best, competition law specialist in the Nordics,’ advises domestic and international clients in Danish mergers under review by both the European Commission and the Danish competition authorities. In addition to competition, procurement, and State aid law expertise, the ’excellent’ Kjær-Hansen supports authorities with regulatory matters and conducting external legal investigations. Kristian Helge Andersen is another key member of the team.

- ‘This is the most extraordinary team. This is not a Danish firm - it is a European firm with a global reputation. EU and competition law is not an add-on or a tolerated eccentricity - it is at the heart of the firm.'
- ‘Martin André Dittmer is a tremendous lawyer, strategist and expert. His knowledge and insights cover many areas. I would say to clients "hire him before the other side does."'
- ‘I believe that Gorrissen Federspiel is second to none in Denmark when it comes to competition law. We use GF for guidance and legal advice including specialist knowledge and formulating legal strategies in our dealings with global tech giants, the European Commission and DOJ in the US. In that context GF is the best connected and likely the Danish law firm with the most experience and competence.'
- 'Erik Kjær-Hansen and Erik Molin are equally excellent.’
- 'This practice is still stunningly outstanding in their legal skills, business knowledge, and strategic client support.'
- ‘Extremely professional, they have the absolute highest level of competition law/merger regulation knowledge in the Nordics with a profound and completely unique understanding of the business they are dealing with at the same time keeping an overall pragmatic and political perspective!'
- '‘Martin Dittmer is an absolute star. One of the best if not the best competition law specialists in the Nordics.'
- ‘This year, it is nothing but an honour to give a testimonial for Gorrissen's EU, competition and public procurement practice. This practice is still stunningly outstanding in its legal skills, business knowledge and strategic client support. And being so exceedingly expert and of the highest quality for many years might be the team's greatest achievement.'
