Austria > EU and competition

bpv Hügel acts for a number of household names on EU competition proceedings and also advises on antitrust and FDI regulations, working closely with the firm’s Brussels-based team. The practice is frequently requested for high profile cartel proceedings, where it acts for defendants in a variety of sectors, most notably energy, telecoms and waste management among others. The firm’s competition matters are led by Astrid Ablasser-Neuhuber and Florian Neumayr, who handle proceedings before the Austrian competition authority and the courts, while Christian Schneider leads on European competition matters. Gerhard Fussenegger splits time between Vienna and Brussels, advising on antitrust, merger control and market dominance. Austrian FDI regulations fall under the remit of Sebastian Reiter.
