Antitrust Litigation

Extremely proactive and forward-thinking lawyers. Chambers Europe 2017

Ukraine’s most urgent economic issue is ensuring fair business competition in the midst of a fierce fight between businesses for market share. The attention of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) is constantly focused on market leaders and businesses with fast-paced growth. A significant number of disputes arises when contesting results of public procurement, during business expansion and acquisition of assets in Ukraine and abroad, and in the area of intellectual property.

The specificity of antitrust disputes requires a thorough understanding of client’s industry, as well as corporate finance and technical aspects of its business. LCF’s Antitrust specialist team provides a comprehensive approach and tailor-made solutions for each client.
