Competition and Trade Practices (Anti-trust)

Competition and trade practices law is among the most dynamic and challenging areas of law in Australia. Faced with an often bewildering rate of change, it can be hard to keep up with the latest policy developments and the approach of regulators.

We can help our clients keep up with these challenges and have an in-depth knowledge of the new Australian Consumer Law. Our extensive experience includes advising on competition and regulation issues, such as merger clearances, misuse of market power, unfair contract terms, international cartels, price signalling, third-party access and National Competition Policy issues. We regularly deal with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the National Competition Council and the Productivity Commission.

Our approach in assisting clients is to understand their business resulting in a commercially focused service. Our advice includes analysis of the central issues through to devising strategies based on clients' desired outcomes.
