CDC was founded in 2002 and is the nucleus, motor and platform for the enforcement of private damage claims based on the infringement of national or international antitrust law. We are the first company in Europe to understand damage claims based on antitrust law infringements as a self-contained and marketable asset. We participate in the development of this market in a constructive way.

Moreover, CDC is a contact point and information broker for all possible participants in private antitrust law enforcement. In this light, CDC wants to be cooperation partner and service provider for

• Companies damaged by cartels;

• Legal departments of companies;

• Consumer associations;

• Industry associations;

• Law firms;

• Economists;

• Investors and litigation funders;

• Cartel authorities and cartel courts.  

With our commitment, significant experience and know-how, we help to overcome the practical obstacles in the enforcement of cartel damage claims. Therefore, CDC bundles the interests involved and creates individual incentives for market participants to contribute to successful private antitrust enforcement on a Europe-wide basis. One of the first activities of the company was to acquire and enforce damage claims against the participants of the German cement cartel.
