Dawn raid support
A dawn raid by the Dutch competition authority ACM or by the European Commission is often unexpected but always inconvenient. The factor time is crucial, many decisions may have to be taken within a very short span of time and possible without optimal access to key decisions makers.

Rob has extensive experience with managing the analysis of the captured data immediately following the receipt thereof. Rob will make the best use of internal and external assets to manage the review of the data in close coordination with the lawyer, the company and forensic IT specialists.
