Divjak Topic Bahtijarevic & Krka

The competition team at Divjak Topic Bahtijarevic & Krka advises domestic and international clients on day-to-day compliance issues and proceedings before the Croatian Competition Agency (CCA). Although the firm has noted a particularly busy year, with a concerted increase in CCA enforcement efforts, it continues to carry out more regular mandates such as merger filing work and merger notification matters, and is currently engaged in defending alleged cartel members. The practice boasts big name clients such as Heineken and Google, providing specialised competition advice such as compliance with the Croatian unfair trade practices act and antitrust regulations, alongside ensuring compliance with data protection and privacy. Industry sectors which the team’s experience spans across includes nautical tourism, transport, media and entertainment, energy, construction, consumer electronics and professional services. Led by senior partner, recognised expert in the field and competition specialist, the 'very confident, reliable and responsive' Mario Krka spearheads the competition and antitrust team. Mario is at the forefront of the highest-stakes mandates handled by the practice, and has successfully represented clients in proceedings instigated for the purpose of proving prohibited agreements, concerted practices and the abuse of dominant position.
