Does the use of pricing algorithms lead to an illegal cartel operation? Do platforms need to be regulated? The &nbsp;boundaries between different legal disciplines &#8211; such as data protection, consumer protection or intellectual property l- and competition law are becoming increasingly blurred. Against this background, an interdisciplinary approach is more important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We assist companies in drafting their cooperation agreements and contracts in accordance with European and Austrian competition and antitrust law. In addition, we provide guidance to companies in the event of inspections and searches by the competition authorities, but are also available in advance to provide compliance training and to prepare for inspections and searches. Of course, our range of services also includes representing clients before European and national competition authorities, in particular in cartel fines and abuse of market power proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also represent our clients in private law disputes related to antitrust law (e.g. damages action for cartel participation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, we carry out merger notifications to the European Commission as well as to national competition authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the area of state aid law, we provide supportive advice on the drafting of projects and contracts, on notifications and, if necessary, on private law disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"team align-full has-blue-background-color\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <h2 class=\"light\">Contact persons<\/h2>\n\n                <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-3 item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haslinger-nagele.com\/en\/team\/johannes-hartlieb\/\" title=\"Johannes Hartlieb\">\n              <div class=\"image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.haslinger-nagele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HartliebJohannes_HaslingerNagele-min-804x1206.jpg\" alt=\"Johannes Hartlieb\">\n              <\/div>\n              <h3>Johannes Hartlieb<\/h3>\n            <\/a>\n            <p>\n              Contract Partner<br>\n                              <a href=\"tel:+4317186680614\">\n                  +43 1 718 66 80 &#8211;
