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 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 lawyers advises and represents clients in the regulatory law practice area.
