Not only because of Nils Ellenrieder's PhD in cartel damage claims and his enthusiasm for this topic, there is also a
strong focus in practice. In the last few years the enforcement system for follow-on cartel damage
claims has been developed and enhanced significantly due to legislative action and case law of
courts. In addition, stand alone cases (i.e. without direct previous proceedings before an antitrust
authority) can be enforced, depending upon the case.
Our service includes inter alia the following:
- Initial success assessment on the basis of the relevant facts and determination of the
enformcement strategy.
- Securing of claims, preparation of claim letters and out-of-court enforcement.
- If needed substantiation by economic evidence.
- If needed further information gathering and collection of the relevant facts.
- If needed bringing of an action before the competent court.
Our service also includes the preparation of damage claims concerning vertical restraints and
abusive behaviour.
