Competition and State Aid
The team at RASK is highly competent in resolving diverse legal issues related to competition and state aid. We do not limit ourselves to drafting contracts and resolving disputes, but instead help our clients to draw up comprehensive analyses of their activities, along with detailed guidelines and training on competition rules.
Field information

One example is an analysis for the Estonian National Audit Office of how the support measures for new-generation broadband networks complies with the European Union rules for state aid.
