Dawn Raid Protection – a comprehensive solution for the protection of your business from unannounced inspections by competition authorities

A dawn raid is an unannounced inspection by a competition authority (European Commission, Czech Competition Authority, Slovak Competition Authority) that significantly disrupts the normal operation of a company and represents a significant interference with the rights of the company and its employees. These inspections, which are usually carried out without prior notice, are the result of suspicions of anticompetitive behaviour and can lead to high fines. With Dawn Raid Protection from HAVEL & PARTNERS, you are prepared for a possible on-site inspection and receive immediate assistance from an experienced team of experts.

Why sign up for the Dawn Raid Protection programme?

• Contacts and basic rules: You will receive a document with key contacts and an overview of basic rules of conduct that you can use immediately at the start of an inspection, thus reducing the risk of making mistakes for which the Competition Authority can impose high fines.
