BDGS Associés houses a comprehensive EU and competition offering. The firm is widely recognised for its standout track record in complex merger control cases, routinely advising on the largest deals in the French market, and for its expertise in state aid, including assisting with recent high-profile investigations by the European Commission. Antitrust litigation and investigations are also a core area of strength. The sizeable team is headed by Antoine Gosset-Grainville, a well-regarded name for merger control and state aid matters, and Maria Trabucchi, whose recent caseload includes representing key players in the technology and retail sectors in sensitive abuse of dominance and cartel cases. Jérôme Fabre and François Gordon (who joined the firm from Baker McKenzie in January 2024) also have strong all-round competition practices. Camille Petiau, Florian Bosser and Maxime Treignat are also noted. Mathilde Damon left the firm in March 2025.
