All businesses need to understand the restrictions within which they must operate in order to stay “on the right side of the law”. Appreciating where your business sits in relation to competition law is an important part of that understanding. Our commercial services team is used to dealing with competition law issues and advising clients on business strategies with a view to minimising the impact of competition law.
Our lawyers regularly advise on both domestic and European competition law. Many of our clients have business structures that result in them entering into agreements with partners in the EU and beyond and our lawyers are used to dealing with the cross jurisdictional issues these arrangements can produce.
Our lawyers are familiar with the legislation relating to cartels; have advised on competition law compliance procedures and understand the importance of making sure that trade associations (and their members) do not, through their discussions, infringe competition law.
