Companies with strong market positions face additional scrutiny from regulators. New rules are being introduced around the world, with important differences between jurisdictions. .
We draw on our depth of experience in this area both from defending the strategies of dominant companies and protecting the commercial interests of their competitors and customers. Our integrated economics expertise gives us deep understanding of the nuances of market power analysis. We use this solid foundation to provide clear and effective commercial advice on clients' business strategies. We frequently advise on areas where the law may be unclear or under-developed and where precedents and guidance may be conflicting.
Strategic insights from deep experience
We have advised clients on many of the seminal abuse of dominance cases in Europe in recent decades, including those in which the largest fines have been imposed. We have an unrivalled track record in Australian misuse of market power cases and are at the forefront of investigations in Asia. This breadth and depth of experience underpins our strategic insights and our incisive and pragmatic commercial advice on our clients’ business strategies.
A lead adviser on abuse of dominance/misuse of market power investigations
Drawing on extensive experience, thorough investigative work and expert advocacy, we have successfully assisted many clients in navigating investigations across concentrated industries. Our multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary team works together to advise clients on strategy development, regularly reviewing commercial arrangements to identify any competition law concerns and providing robust, commercial advice on addressing and managing competition law risk. We are particularly proud of our distinctive track record in persuading regulators to close such investigations without adverse action against our clients. We believe this sets us apart from our competitors.
