BDGS Associés‘ wide-ranging EU and competition law practice is well regarded for its advice to leading French multinationals across a broad array of sectors, most notably transport, energy, retail and financial services. Merger control cases are a prominent area of expertise for the team, which is well versed in handling notifications to the FCA, the European Commission and to antitrust authorities worldwide, and it is also widely recognised for its strength in state aid, with Antoine Gosset-Grainville and Mathilde Damon representing SNCF and the French State Shareholding Agency in high-profile recent cases. In addition, the firm is highly active in significant antitrust investigations and litigation. Maria Trabucchi and Jérôme Fabre are also noted practitioners across the full range of EU and competition law.
