Provided by WongPartnership LLP
Our Antitrust & Competition Practice takes a lead role in any interaction with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore ("CCCS"), handling all aspects of antitrust, competition and consumer protection matters in Singapore. With mergers and acquisitions, we guide our clients in merger control analysis, confidential guidance and notifications to the CCCS, as well as the coordination of multijurisdictional merger filings. We regularly represent clients in the full life cycle of cartel and other conduct investigations, defending their interests before the regulators from the first request for information or dawn raid.
Our highly qualified team has been involved in some of the most significant decisions by the CCCS, including acting in all of its multijurisdictional cartel decisions, and in several landmark merger decisions which established important principles of law. Our team has also successfully led appeals to the Competition Appeal Board against decisions by the CCCS.
Our expertise is also keenly sought in areas such as trade and customs regulation, as well as consumer protection laws, where we provide clients with compliance advice, regulatory due diligence and strategic advice on the impact of government regulations on business.
