About

Provided by Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr

Our Competition Law practice has a proven track record of providing strategic advice and practical solutions to competition law issues for clients with business interests in South Africa, Kenya and the rest of Africa. Where transactions span multiple jurisdictions, we are ideally placed to provide comprehensive competition and antitrust services. Our team has extensive experience in the legal requirements associated with obtaining merger clearance and has successfully represented clients in several high-profile transactions. We have been involved in landmark cases dealing with restrictive practices (complaints regarding anti-competitive conduct). We have represented clients in all forums: before the Competition Commission, the Competition Tribunal, the Competition Appeal Court, the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court. We have been at the forefront of the most recent development in competition law: defending damages actions brought by alleged victims of anti-competitive conduct, including the first attempt at a class action for damages in South Africa. We represent clients across a wide range of sectors.
