Work highlights
Represented CocaCola HBC in contesting a €10m abuse of dominance fine before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeals, while continuing to act as the bottler’s longstanding antitrust compliance counsel.
Represented the Baxter Group’s entities (Gambro Lundia AB and Baxter Hellas) in a HCC abuse of dominance case sparked by a distributor complaint—persuading the authority, and later the courts, to adopt for the first time a single market for haemodialysis machines and related services, slashing the client’s market share finding, overturning a €1m fine on appeal, and now steering the remitted proceedings before the HCC.
Advised Delivery Hero (efood) on winning HCC clearance for its €29m acquisition of four online intermediation and grocery businesses, by negotiating a reduced two-year behavioural commitment package and persuading the HCC to terminate those commitments entirely.
