RIW Publishes Jungermann Article on Reform of German Competition Law
The prominent German law magazine RIW Recht der Internationalen Wirtschaft (Law of International Commerce) published Frankfurt-based Antitrust partner Sebastian Jungermann's article on news about the German competition law reform with a focus on civil follow-on actions in Germany.
In addition to implementing a new merger control threshold based on transaction value, the German competition law reform will also implement the EU directive for cartel damages (2014/104/EU), which aims to facilitate private enforcement actions.
