Stikeman Elliott's Competition & Foreign Investment Group provides sophisticated, pragmatic advice on major national and international transactions, as well as day-to-day compliance across all industries. On the litigation side, the team handles exposures in the criminal, regulatory and class action spheres, .

We have a deep understanding of the competitive dynamics of Canada’s major industrial and commercial sectors. As such, we can effectively evaluate and structure transactions to manage the risk of regulatory intervention by the Commissioner of Competition and other governmental agencies. We have acted on the most noteworthy foreign investment transactions, representing both Canadian targets and foreign purchasers. Clients also rely on our ability to coordinate the increasingly important public relations and government relations aspects of competition and foreign investment review.

Our competition litigation practice has top ranked counsel handling client issues, from cartel investigations, prosecutions and resolutions, to immunity and leniency applications, to contested mergers and other civilly reviewable matters before the Competition Tribunal, to defence of class actions and other lawsuits alleging competition law violations and economic torts. The team's reputation for vigorous advocacy and strategic focus serves our clients exceedingly well as they face the Competition Bureau, Public Prosecution Service of Canada, and class action plaintiffs.
