Cartel Damage Claims

We sincerely thank our Partner

Cartel Damage Claims (CDC) is the first European company to offer a one-stop-shop solution for victims of anti-competitive behaviour, from the economic damage analysis to the enforcement of claims for damages, and everything in between. CDC built a reputation for high-quality case selection, preparation, and management, fuelled by its dedicated interdisciplinary team. CDC has successfully brought bundled actions against cartels in a diverse range of products such as cement, hydrogen peroxide, sodium chlorate, paraffin wax, sugar, and trucks. Currently CDC is building up further cases in several European jurisdictions and is also offering its know-how and (IT-)services to funders and claims aggregators.
