Global India Competition/Antitrust

The Global-Wide Competition/Antitrust practice area focuses on reflecting those firms in the market whose international strength sees them handling major global mandates concerning anti-competitive behaviour (monopoly) and unfair business practices. Leading firms are expected to demonstrate strong teams in key commercial hubs across the globe to facilitate intra-office collaboration on European, US and Asia-Pacific regulations derived from competition/antitrust legislation. Firms should have experience working closely with competition authorities including the European Commission, US Competition authorities, Competition Market Authority as well as Fair Trade Commissions across the globe. Unlike the coverage provided in some national guides, this Global-Wide section considers firms' capabilities across both transactional and contentious sides of the market including; cartel and other government investigations, antitrust litigation, M&A-related competition work, advice and implementation of competition strategies for businesses
