We have a rich experience of working on the most complex State aid cases both in an advisory role and acting in matters before the European Commission and national and EU Courts.
Our market-leading expertise is drawn from a broad base. We have acted for beneficiaries and providers of state aid, whether these are central government bodies or other parts of the state apparatus, as well as complainants and other third parties. Our depth of experience benefits every client.
Our practice covers all industries and areas of state aid, including transport, infrastructure, energy and fiscal State aid. We have been heavily involved in supporting public and private clients throughout the Covid crisis.
The relatively new subsidies regime in the UK brings its own challenges. We advise both public and private clients in relation to the UK subsidies regime and represent one of the parties in the very first subsidies based judicial review proceedings in the UK. In doing so we draw on our experience of EU State aid law as well as expertise in other relevant areas including trade law and dispute resolution in the UK.
