We understand that competition carries both opportunities and risks for thriving businesses. From everyday commercial practices to complex aspects of merger control and potentially anticompetitive conduct, our team advises Brazilian and international companies in all areas of competition law.
Our expertise with merger control encompasses a variety of activities:
- Assessing competition risks
- Representing clients in the submission of highly complex transactions
- Representing clients in challenges to transactions before the antitrust authorities
- Negotiation of remedies
We also offer strategic advice on dealing with investigations of anticompetitive behavior, such as cartels or unilateral conducts. The team assists companies with internal investigations and appraises their business practices from the standpoint of antitrust law. Whether investigations involve dawn raids, leniency agreements, settlement agreements, or international cartels, we always tailor our approach to the client’s needs.
The professionals on our team have an international perspective and diversified experience and background, with a business-oriented and pragmatic approach, as well as straightforward and responsive opinions. We continuously monitor proceedings to ensure that sensitive situations requiring personal contact with Brazilian antitrust officials are appropriately handled.
