Whether you are dealing with large infrastructure projects, privatisations, financing transactions, investments, acquisitions or the award of individual contracts: our in-depth industry knowledge, our team’s many years of experience in state aid law and the fact that we can always draw on the knowledge of our experts in other fields of law make us the ideal partner for your project. The presence of our team of experts in Germany and Brussels ensures our clients have the best possible chances of making use of opportunities and handling regulatory challenges successfully.
Companies, be they organised under private or public law, receive state aid in all conceivable forms: guarantees, capital grants, reduced interest rates, real estate at a reduced price, tax privileges, etc. If such aid is subsequently withdrawn, this causes enormous problems – such as higher financing costs – for the companies and may even threaten a company’s existence. Working with the public authorities and the benefitting companies, we find a way to ensure that state aid is granted in a manner which allows the beneficiary to keep it.
We develop secure funding structures and successfully address any objections raised by competitors and the European Commission. If competitors unlawfully receive state aid, companies can insist on equal conditions of competition being created again. We help such companies obtain the same type of state aid, or to ensure that the state aid that was unlawfully granted to the competitor is withdrawn again. Companies that have received subsidies from non-EU countries may have to obtain the European Commission’s approval under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) before acquiring companies, or shares or interests in companies, in the EU – we can help you navigate the preparations for such approval and the Commission procedure.
Here at Luther, we strive to provide transparent and professional advice. We invite you to rely on our experience and international expertise for your success.
We can help you minimise risks and ensure compliance with the law.
We can help you develop the ideal structure for your projects and for mergers and acquisitions in order to meet the legal requirements under public subsidy and state aid law.
Together with your company and the relevant Member State authorities, we efficiently prepare state aid procedures before the European Commission, thus creating the ideal conditions for a smooth and successful approval procedure. With our team in Brussels, we have comprehensive experience in this area of law.
In the event of competition disputes, we can provide effective legal protection aimed at defending and safeguarding your interests.
Ensuring the provision of services of general interest is of central importance to the federal, state and local governments. Our experts can help you achieve this objective in conformity with state aid law.
