Competition/Antitrust in Hungary

Competition issues are becoming increasingly important and avoiding the pitfalls requires the best legal advice. Our worldwide team of more than 200 leading competition lawyers offer in-depth understanding of competition issues, innovative solutions and a client-friendly approach, helping clients succeed in many jurisdictions.

Our market-leading competition law practice in Budapest has provided a full range of legal services to clients for more than 20 years: from antitrust defense to merger control, state aid and unfair competition. We represent clients in cartel and dominant position cases before the Hungarian and EU competition authorities and courts, act in national and cross-border merger control procedures before the Hungarian Competition Office and the European Commission, and represent clients in unfair competition litigations. We also assist in compliance work, including the preparation of competition compliance policies and dawn-raid procedures, and deliver related trainings and conduct competition law audits.

Building on our experience in competition law, we assist clients in all industries, providing specific advice in regulated industries (energy, telecommunications and railway sectors) where market liberalization has raised numerous competition law issues in Hungary. We also have extensive experience advising clients in the pharmaceutical, food, IT/C, automotive, FMCG, banking and insurance industries and sectors. Our client base includes both Hungarian-owned companies and subsidiaries of multinational groups.
