Founded in Paris in 1920, Gide is a leading international law firm with 12 offices spread throughout the world.
Gide is physically present in six regions of the world, with 11 offices, enabling it to act on cases globally.
Deregulation and the opening up of markets to competition, which concern an increasing number of economic sectors in the many countries Gide covers, are important for the development of new entrants and for boosting economy, as well as for upholding the interests of incumbent operators.
With the move towards deregulation in the European Union, Gide has gained considerable expertise in the processing of issues related to the opening up of markets to competition.
Acquired through assisting incumbent operators, our experience has led our teams to assist former monopolies in implementing the new rules that come hand-in-hand with deregulation.
Gide also assists the clients of these incumbent operators, in particular in the industrial sector, in defending their interests in accessing backbone infrastructure or entering into provisioning contracts.
Our sectors of expertise include network industries (energy, telecommunications, transport), as well as certain service activities that are impacted by deregulation.
