The Competition Law Practice Group, co-headed by Cavinder Bull, SC, Lim Chong Kin, and Dr. Corinne Chew comprises an experienced and highly qualified team which handles competition and regulatory matters both generally under the Competition Act as well as in the carved-out sectors such as telecommunications, media, energy and post.

We are consistently recognised as the leading competition law practice in Singapore and are the preferred counsel of local companies, multi-national corporations, associations and government bodies for competition matters in Singapore and other ASEAN member countries.

We filed the first merger notification as well as the most number of notifications for decision relating to agreements and conduct under the Competition Act. We also successfully led appeals to the Competition Appeal Board (CAB).
