WilmerHale‘s state aid practice advises companies and public bodies on the granting and receipt of aid, and represents them before the European Commission and national and EU courts, including in complaints and competitor actions. Transport, infrastructure and tourism feature prominently in the workload alongside broader cross-border mandates. The practice is led by Hans-Georg Kamann, who coordinates state aid work alongside antitrust, procurement and EU administrative matters.
