The team also assists numerous public sector players (especially state ministries) with privatisation initiatives as well as with the state aid compliant structuring of various cultural and scientific funding projects. Hans-Georg Kamann, whose expertise ranges from European state aid and antitrust law to data protection, heads the practice.

WilmerHale particularly focuses on complex civil and regulatory disputes, especially with an antitrust background, while the team also has expertise in corporate litigation as well as product liability and warranty proceedings. The practice is jointly led by Vanessa Wettner, who was recently involved in numerous civil proceedings against consumer protection associations, Stefan Ohlhoff, who is active in large cartel damages proceedings in the automotive, automotive supplier, finance and healthcare industries, and Hans-Georg Kamann, who handles antitrust, state aid and EU law litigation.

Another mainstay is merger control support, thanks to the close cooperation with the locations in Brussels, London and the US. The team is jointly led by Ulrich Quack (merger control),  Stefan Ohlhoff and Hans-Georg Kamann, the latter two are both experienced in cartel damages.
