Competition and Regulation

Our clients turn to us for competition and other regulatory advice on their day-to-day operations as well as business critical projects, looking to us to deliver outcome-focused advice with pragmatic commercial acumen.

Our practice focuses on merger control, consumer protection, competition litigation and foreign investment screening. Our overriding goal is to ensure that our clients are fully informed and well advised about the regulatory process, enabling them to plan for and mitigate potential risks.

Some of the areas we typically provide advice to clients include:

  • Cartels and anti-competitive agreements.

  • Abuse of dominance.

  • Competition complaints to regulatory authorities.

  • Competition litigation, including appealing regulatory decisions, standalone action and follow-on claims.

  • Merger control, including advising interested third parties and opposing mergers.

  • Joint ventures, strategic alliance and collaborative arrangements.

  • Competition issues in distribution, licensing and franchising.

  • Foreign direct investment analysis and clearances.

Complementing our leading transactional practice, we ensure the smooth passage of deals through global merger and investment control processes, helping our clients to navigate enforcement by regulators and offer actionable strategic advice on how to best advance their commercial interests.

We also work closely with leading law firms worldwide, often advising clients on multi-jurisdictional regulatory processes globally.
