What the Team is Known For

DLA Piper offers an in-depth understanding of regulatory and commercial perspectives on competition law issues, based on extensive experience in handling high-stakes mandates for both the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and leading corporations. The team is particularly familiar with the regulatory landscapes affecting the automotive, energy, financial services and telecommunications industries, and is regularly instructed on merger clearance, infrastructure access and regulatory compliance issues. The practice is also experienced in advising on contentious matters, including those considered by regulatory bodies at state level. The firm is highly prized for its integration with the firm's global network, facilitating cross-jurisdictional assistance and swifter familiarisation with worldwide competition law trends.
