Broadcom Sues EU Over VMware Document Requests

Broadcom filed a lawsuit in the Luxembourg General Court challenging EU antitrust regulator’s document requests in the VMware acquisition probe.
The company seeks to protect attorney‑client privilege for communications with U.S. lawyers, asserting cooperation with other EU information requests.
Lobbying group CISPE filed an antitrust complaint in March, urging regulators to halt Broadcom’s termination of VMware Service Provider programme in Europe.
European Commission said it will defend its decisions in court, noting EU rules on attorney‑client privilege cover only external counsel.
