Forcyd

Earlier this week, FORCYD had the pleasure of attending an event hosted by W@CompetitionNL, featuring an insightful workshop on "𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠: 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑙𝑎𝑤 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠?"   Representing FORCYD, Natalia Benou participated in the discussion, which—among other key themes—explored how professionals from diverse backgrounds can communicate effectively to ensure clarity and accuracy in competition law cases.   As a company working closely with competition lawyers, we found this workshop particularly valuable. Bridging the gap between law and tech remains a key focus for us, and this event provided a great opportunity to exchange knowledge, ideas and best practices.    We sincerely thank W@CompetitionNL for hosting such a well-organised masterclass and for inviting us to be part of this important conversation.

Last week, we had the honour of co-organising a roundtable discussion on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regimes together with DLA Piper. The event was hosted by Daniel Colgan, international head of competition at DLA Piper and Mathieu van Ravenstein, Partner at FORCYD and brought together a group of highly accredited experts in the field including in-house counsel, private practice lawyers and government authority representatives from across numerous jurisdictions, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the United States. The discussion shed light on the significant differences in FDI regimes across different jurisdictions. From the corporate perspective to the regulatory viewpoint, it became clear how challenging it is to navigate these varying procedures. The threshold for reporting to authorities, the extent of available guidelines, and the level of formality differ drastically—from structured and transparent processes to a true “black box” experience. The participants expressed a strong willingness to collaborate and work toward more harmonized procedures. While achieving alignment across jurisdictions takes time, discussions like these are invaluable in creating greater clarity, cooperation, and progress in the FDI landscape. We value the new insights gained and look forward to continuing these conversations.
