About

Provided by DSK Legal

DSK Legal has been a formidable presence in the field of antitrust and competition law in India since its pioneering involvement in a landmark case before the Competition Commission of India (CCI) in 2009. Over the years, our practice has expanded to include representation before a range of tribunals, including the CCI, Appellate Tribunal, Regional High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India, establishing a strong jurisprudential footprint in this domain.


Our strength lies in our deep understanding of our clients’ business needs, which allows us to integrate sector-specific insights with our legal expertise. We offer a comprehensive approach to competition law, addressing issues such as anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position, combination filings, policy formulation, compliance, agreement structuring, dispute resolution, and representation across various legal forums.


A key highlight of our competition law practice is our extensive representation of the CCI in some of the most high-profile cases, where we have contributed to the imposition of substantial penalties. This long-standing engagement has played a pivotal role in shaping competition law jurisprudence in India. Furthermore, our ability to seamlessly integrate antitrust matters with Corporate M&A, White-Collar Crimes, TMT, and Dispute Resolution practices further enhances our capability to deliver holistic and cost-effective legal solutions.
