Our Competition Law Practice delivers up-to-date and innovative legal solutions to assist and guide our clients to operate in compliance with the competition law, clarifying doubts on business conducts so as to avoid unnecessary penalties.


With a dedicated team boasting national and international experience, Pinheiro Neto has practiced in the competition area for more than six decades, particularly since the 1990’s, with the economic stabilization of the country and when a more improved set of competition and merger control rules was put in operation.


We act across the whole spectrum of competition law matters, with the support of our firm’s other practice areas, renowned economists and other experts, where needed.


The competition law practice requires strict control of conflicts of interest, absolute confidentiality, proactive conduct and permanent contact with the client with respect to the handling of the matter.
