Competition/Antitrust

Faced with heightened scrutiny of competitive practices around the globe, business leaders want to avoid challenges from the authorities – or respond swiftly if they happen. Our Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment team takes on the toughest assignments and develops strategies that work, while also offering insight into the Competition Bureau’s enforcement approach.

Leading businesses in Canada and internationally turn to our lawyers for their most demanding merger, cartel and antitrust cases. And when disputes arise, our top litigators bring extensive experience before the Competition Tribunal and at all levels of courts to win your case. From our work on the $26-billion Rogers-Shaw merger – the largest-ever completed transaction in the Canadian telecommunications industry – and related litigation to defending Google in claims launched by the Canadian Competition Bureau alleging abuse of dominance in the digital display advertising technology, or “ad tech” industry, we have shown that we can navigate and resolve complex issues to meet our clients’ objectives. Our deep client relationships mean that we also regularly counsel clients on advertising, marketing and distribution practices and general regulatory compliance.

Across the spectrum of competition, foreign investment and national security mandates – from merger reviews to ongoing compliance programs – our team combines cutting-edge knowledge with practical strategies to overcome the most intricate challenges.
