The Lawyers from Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak’s competition law team received the OCCP’s unconditional acceptance for the company 1 & 1 Internet, belonging to United Internet Control, to takeover Home.pl – one of the largest providers of Internet services for small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland.
The OCCP qualified the transaction to the so-called ‘second stage’ of the proceedings, with the result that the OCCP obtained an additional four months to thoroughly examine the case, behaviours, and market research. SK&S’ competition law team showed that the transaction would not restrict market competition. The agreement for this transaction is one of the first that the OCCP has given in the second phase of the concentration proceeding which has been introduced into Polish law less than a year ago.
The client was represented by a team of lawyers from SK&S including Krzysztof Kanton, Marta Kupczak-Strzelecka and Grzegorz Koguciuk.
