Our firm has traditionally been recognised as a leading Russian law firm in the field of antitrust law by The Legal 500 EMEA 2021.
Evgeny Khokhlov and Alexander Egorushkin are noted among the top recommended lawyers.
The Legal 500 experts recognised the key areas of Antitrust Advisory's work: ‘Boutique antitrust firm Antitrust Advisory has worked on an impressive number of high-profile antitrust cases, as well as continuously advising major international companies and Russian corporations on compliance, dominance, distribution and various commercial aspects. The firm's counselling is made especially important by the involvement of an in-house economist’.
The firm's key clients include Adidas, Delphi Technologies, KPS Capital Partners, Moet Hennessy, Ottobock, Vitruvian Partners, Brown Forman, Coca-Cola HBC, Froneri, Tenneco and Canon. Among the most significant projects the firm worked on last year, the experts identified:
- successfully represented the interests of the National Financial Market Council in defence of private banks against abuse of collective dominance by the Big Four mobile operators;
- representation of Procter & Gamble in relation to the FAS Russia investigation into so-called ‘double standards’ (when consumer characteristics of products under the same brand are allegedly different in Russia and the European Union);
- representing Yandex in a court dispute between Avito/Drom and FAS in connection with Avito/Drom's allegations of unfair competition on the part of Yandex.
Since 1991, the handbook The Legal 500 researches the capabilities of 2,700 law firms in 80 countries, and provides an independent assessment of firm performance based on client recommendations, surveys and questionnaires.
