Antitrust

antitrust legal skills for Germany

Germany's competition enforcement sits at the intersection of European and domestic law: the Bundeskartellamt is one of Europe's most active national competition authorities, enforcing both the Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen and, in parallel, EU competition rules under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU — and its sector inquiries, dawn raids, and abuse-of-dominance decisions set precedents felt across the continent. Working in this space means tracking Bonn proceedings, monitoring Bundeskartellamt guidance on digital markets under the 10th GWB amendment's new §19a provisions for gatekeepers, and managing merger filings against the Bundeskartellamt's own thresholds alongside EU one-stop-shop questions at the Commission.

The antitrust legal skills for Germany in the ThomasMore catalog are agent-ready tools built for exactly that dual-track reality — screening horizontal agreements, stress-testing vertical arrangements under block-exemption logic, drafting internal competition-compliance procedures, and structuring merger-control notifications for the German regime. Each skill runs over MCP or downloads directly into your workflow, so it integrates without disrupting how your team handles matters. The ThomasMore catalog lets you filter by license, author, or task type, making it straightforward to match the right capability to a specific proceeding, transaction, or advisory instruction. As the GWB and Commission enforcement priorities continue to evolve — particularly around digital markets, sustainability agreements, and cartel damages litigation before the Landgericht — these open-source skills are maintained to reflect the current state of the law.
