Being subject to a dawn raid by the competition/antitrust authorities can be extremely stressful. 

Having practical guidance at your fingertips provides peace of mind, particularly since the authorities have the power to impose fines on businesses that do not cooperate with their inspections.

With that in mind, our global Competition, EU and Trade team have created a Dawn Raids App which draws on our experience of handling dawn raids.

This free-to-download tool will assist you if you face an unexpected inspection on areas including:

  • tailored guidance to different groups of employees

  • step-by-step practical guidance on what to do and what not to do

  • experienced legal advisers’ contact details in over 20 jurisdictions across the EU, US and Asia so that those nearest to your location can attend the raid quickly

The app is available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
