Practice head Gitte Holtsø is vastly experienced on high-profile merger cases, as well as cases involving cartels, other horizontal cooperation agreements, vertical agreements, abuse of dominance and competition law compliance.

Christian Karhula Lauridsen is a go-to name for contentious matters in the space, whilst head of the economic analysis team Rie Paving Mortensen is a key contact for all things pertaining to complex mergers, international cartels and abuse of dominant position issues.
