The ‘knowledgeable, experienced and client-oriented’ team at Aequo houses a balanced contentious and non-contentious practice that spans the gamut of competition law. A leading firm in merger filings, the group is also regularly called upon for representation in antitrust investigations and advice on regulation, cartels and state aid matters. The team continues to add to its roster of national and international clients and notes a particular influx of clients from the tech sector. Leveraging her specialist knowledge of EU competition law, Mariya Nizhnik is well-placed to advise multinational clients and is particularly adept at antitrust investigations. Sergey Denisenko is an expert in merger clearance, unfair commercial practices and competition compliance, leading the firm’s consumer and retail industry group. Denis Lysenko is another key member of the practice, along with Anna Litvinova, who has experience in merger control and antitrust compliance cases.
