Competition enforcers across the globe are working to investigate and sanction cartels and other anti-competitive behaviour including market dominance abuses and other antitrust infringements. Breaches of competition law carry massive risks: large fines, significant reputational damage, criminal prosecutions and multi-million-dollar damages actions.
Our team provides you with clear, pragmatic and tactical advice across all aspects of antitrust and competition law to support on any challenges - anticipating cross-border regulatory impacts, minimising penalties and strategically managing enforcement actions. We regularly represent clients, across a wide range of sectors, in investigations and enforcement actions and criminal prosecutions in regulatory and judicial proceedings around the world, in the US, the UK, Europe, South Africa and Asia Pacific regions.
Offering comprehensive support in cartel and antitrust investigations, our work includes dawn raid support, internal inquiries, data and document requests, leniency and immunity applications, and defence against enforcement actions. We advise on antitrust issues, such as price-fixing, bid-rigging, information exchanges, monopolisation claims, unfair trade practices and state-aid matters. We also provide strategic guidance on commercial agreements and market conduct, helping businesses structure arrangements that ensure compliance with competition laws. Our advice extends to emerging competition issues, including geoblocking, online distribution models and patent life cycle management.
And, as one of the world's leading dispute resolution firms, we regularly represent clients in high-stakes litigation, including class actions, multidistrict litigations, appeals and private damages claims. We have extensive experience litigating at both the trial and appellate levels, including before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Court of Justice of the EU and courts in jurisdictions around the world. Our team includes former government officials with experience handling precedent-setting cases at the highest judicial levels.
Beyond litigation and enforcement, we can support you on your competition compliance, risk assessment and tailored training needs. We also explore alternative dispute resolution strategies, including arbitration, mediation and negotiated settlements, to help you mitigate legal exposure efficiently.
