Antitrust law remains invisible as long as everything runs smoothly.
You don’t see any headlines. You don’t see any friction.
You see markets that function. Companies that can cooperate. Growth that is legally sound. Competition that remains vibrant.
This is precisely where the quiet art of good antitrust advice lies:
Identifying risks before they become visible. Examining structures before they become vulnerable. Classifying decisions legally in such a way that entrepreneurial freedom remains possible.
We are all the more pleased that LUTZ | ABEL has been recognized by WirtschaftsWoche as a TOP law firm for antitrust law in 2026.
In the current ranking of the most renowned law firms and attorneys for antitrust law and M&A, our partner Dr. Daniel Petzold is also named as a highly recommended attorney in antitrust law.
Dr. Daniel Petzold heads the Antitrust Practice Group at LUTZ | ABEL and advises on all aspects of German and European antitrust law. His practice focuses in particular on antitrust damages litigation, distribution antitrust law, R&D collaborations, regulatory proceedings, and merger control.
This recognition is a wonderful affirmation of our advisory services, which make a difference where business decisions are made: in transactions, distribution structures, collaborations, growth strategies, and proceedings related to antitrust law.
We warmly congratulate Dr. Daniel Petzold on this personal recognition and thank all our colleagues for their trust in our antitrust advisory services.
