introduction
We assist our clients to assess anti-competitive behavior committed in the market. After doing so, we advise our clients on what are the strategic best steps forward to protect their interests. This may include:
- Applying to the CCCS for leniency for clients involved in cartels;
- Filing complaints on behalf of clients of alleged violation of competition law so that the CCCS will step in as regulator to amend or prohibit the anti-competitive behaviour; and
- Conducting internal company investigations of suspected cartel behavior or abuse of dominance.
