Competition + Anti-trust

We advise on control of concentration issues and handle merger notifications to the Commission for the Protection of Competition. We also provide advice on applicable state aid rules, as well as deal with clearance notifications to the Cyprus State Aid Commissioner.

We advise on antitrust issues regarding anticompetitive behaviour, concerted practices and potential abuse of dominance. Our practice can conduct antitrust audits for your organisation and may provide tailor-made compliance training on antitrust and competition law.

Notable work experience includes:

• advising Globeducate, a market-leading portfolio group of private K-12 education institutions (currently owned jointly by international private equity houses Providence Equity Partners and Wendel), with its merger control filings in relation to a number of high-profile acquisitions of schools in Cyprus between 2022 and 2025
• carrying out an extensive internal anti-trust audit on the local operations of a reputable international group with a significant presence in Cyprus
