Introduction

Qualified in Europe and the U.S., Raphael brings a transatlantic approach to competition matters, from strategic advice to litigation in EU and national jurisdictions.

Raphael Dionis helps companies manage competition law risk, whether they are under investigation, planning a deal, or bringing IP-protected content to market. Raphael pairs multijurisdictional experience with an understanding of commercial constraints gained in-house, which keeps his advice practical for clients.

Raphael advises clients in industries as diverse as entertainment, sports, telecommunications, and finance. His work covers notably competition issues in the sale and licensing of intellectual property rights, anticompetitive agreements and abuse of dominance (Articles 101 and 102 TFEU), and merger notifications. Beyond competition law, he advises on EU trade and regulatory matters, including sustainability regulations.

In contentious matters, Raphael represents clients before the European Commission, national authorities, and courts. His litigation experience spans the EU, France, Luxembourg, and the United States.

Raphael is admitted to practice in France, New York, and California, and is on the Brussels Bar’s E-List. He holds an LL.M. from Berkeley Law (Dean’s List) and a master’s in international business law from the Université de Lorraine (France).
