Overview
Competition
Competition law increasingly affects not only large companies but also small and medium-sized enterprises as well as public-sector entities. We provide comprehensive support to you and your business in all competition law matters.
This includes, in particular, advice on cooperation between competitors (joint ventures, purchasing cooperatives), distribution law (drafting distribution agreements and systems), merger control, abuse of a dominant market position and relative market power, as well as antitrust compliance (conducting training sessions, preparing guidelines). In addition, we represent your interests in proceedings before the Swiss Competition Commission and in court (sanction proceedings, merger control, and antitrust civil proceedings).

Bratschi represents the University Hospital Basel in the takeover of the Claraspital Basel in merger control proceedings before COMCO
The University Hospital Basel will take over the Claraspital Basel and the other companies of the Clara Group. Thereby, one of the three largest university hospitals in Switzerland will be formed.
The Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) has examined the takeover and has decided not to initiate main proceedings. This means that the Claraspital can be integrated into the Group of the University Hospital Basel. The planned Comprehensive Cancer Center, where oncological services will be bundled at the site of the Claraspital, will provide Northwestern Switzerland with cutting-edge care in the field of cancer.
Bratschi advised and represented the University Hospital Basel in the merger proceedings before the COMCO. The Bratschi team was led by Prof Dr Rolf H. Weber (Competition) and encompassed Dr Samuel Jost and Dr Claudia Walz (both Competition).
