In the public sector, business operates under constant scrutiny — tender procedures, complaints, investigations, AMCU decisions, market concentrations. Each step requires not just legal knowledge, but strategy, experience, and decisiveness. ERSTE supports companies through every stage of these processes — from analyzing tender documentation to representing clients before the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) and in court. What We Do for Our Clients We assume full legal responsibility in public procurement and competition law matters. In particular: Review of tender documentation and analysis of bids to identify legal and procedural risks before submission. Preparation of compliant tender documents, justifications, and appeals; legal support during negotiations. Challenging decisions of tender committees before the AMCU, representation at hearings, and support in administrative boards. Assistance during audits by the State Audit Service and other supervisory authorities — including drafting responses, attending inspections, and managing risks. Defense in antitrust matters: mergers, concentrations, concerted practices, abuse of dominance, and unfair competition. Consulting on compliance programs to ensure adherence to competition law and prevent violations. Market monitoring and analysis of competitors’ conduct to identify potential anticompetitive risks. Representation in court cases related to competition and appeals of AMCU decisions.
