State Aid
State aid law plays a pivotal role in investment decisions, crisis management, digital and energy transitions, and broader business strategies. While state support can offer significant opportunities, ensuring compliance with state aid rules is essential to avoid potential recovery demands in the future.
Our EU & Competition team provides legal advice to aid recipients, complainants, intervening third parties and public authorities across various industries, including airlines, pharmaceuticals, logistics, transport, R&D, financial services, and energy. We offer strategic legal and procedural guidance to navigate the complexities of state aid.
