State Aid / Subsidy Control

Since the introduction of the Subsidy Control Act in 2023, organisations need to be familiar with state aid competition laws and subsidy control guidance. Our experts are here to help. 

Overview

In order to ensure that competition is not distorted through state aid to one company, competition law and subsidy control guidance must be adhered to throughout all of your business transactions. 

As the legal experts in state aid competition law, our team is here to help you understand the UK processes for UK and international subsidies, as well as competition concerns that your organisation may need to be aware of. 

This includes EU-specific subsidy control guidance, such as the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation. This applies to companies benefitting from non-EU subsidies, and introduces mandatory filing for certain transactions and processes. We’ll be able to walk you through this entire process, and advise on whether particular regulations apply to your organisation. 

To learn more about how we can assist with subsidy control guidance, please reach out to a member of the team.
