Swedish business news outlet Dagens Industri has named Norburg & Scherp Advokatbyrå a “Gasellföretag” (Gazelle Company) 2023. According to the criteria, a Gazelle Company is a company with strong, consistent and organic growth, and sound finances. Over 4 years it should have doubled its turnover. See further details here.

On 19 September 2023 our partners Pontus Scherp, Fredrik Norburg and Helena Selander will represent PriceRunner as intervener in the hearing of Google and Alphabet v Commission (Google Shopping) Case C-48/22 P before the European Court of Justice.

This landmark case concerns Google's appeal against the General Court's judgment, which found the tech giant guilty of abusing its dominant position by unfairly promoting its own comparison shopping service while unfairly demoting results from competing comparison services. The implications of this case are profound and could reshape the landscape of online competition. Google's abuse has caused harm not only to PriceRunner and other comparison shopping services but also to European consumers who overpay when shopping online because of Google's abuse. The General Court's judgment can be found at https://lnkd.in/eue_9aws.

Norburg & Scherp Advokatbyrå AB also acts for PriceRunner in the competition damages claim against Google/Alphabet launched in February 2022 before the Patent and Market Court in Stockholm, https://lnkd.in/ezKa9AFE.
