Antitrust

antitrust legal skills for European Union

Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sit at the heart of EU competition enforcement, but the daily work of antitrust practice runs through European Commission dawn raids, merger filings under the EU Merger Regulation, leniency applications, and increasingly active proceedings before the General Court and the Court of Justice. The antitrust legal skills for the European Union in the ThomasMore catalog are built around those specific workflows — screening agreements for appreciable effect on competition, preparing merger control notifications, mapping dominance thresholds, and drafting submissions for Commission investigations. Each skill is agent-ready and reachable over MCP or as a direct download, so counsel can integrate it into the document-heavy, deadline-driven environment that EU competition files demand.

The collection reflects both the European Commission's Guidelines and the decentralised enforcement reality created by Regulation 1/2003, under which national competition authorities apply EU rules alongside their own domestic proceedings. Authors maintain these skills as the Commission's decisional practice, the Digital Markets Act's interplay with traditional abuse-of-dominance doctrine, and the Directorate-General for Competition's enforcement priorities continue to shift. Whether your mandate is transaction clearance, cartel defence, private damages litigation before national courts, or compliance programme design, filtering by license or author in the ThomasMore catalog surfaces the capability your instruction requires. Use the search above to narrow further by topic — merger thresholds, vertical restraints, or State aid overlap — and move directly to what is ready to run.
