Regulatory law

Regulatory law is an area of the law which is constituted by the interface between com­mercial law, administrative law and antitrust law, which is then divided into various sectors. The basis of regulatory law is a supervision of competition which goes beyond general antitrust law and also aims to influence the market configura­tion. It is predominantly concerned with questions affecting infrastructure undertakings and the remunera­tion which may be demanded for the use of infrastructure. A team of highly specialised and experienced attorneys advises and represents clients in the regulatory law practice area.
