Antitrust and Competition
Our team of Competition and Antitrust, we give suggestion in all aspects of competition regulation and antitrust litigation during business acquisitions, restructuring and mergers. These transactions are under constant government scrutiny from regulators. Our professional business law counsel helps companies to stay true to their core objectives while keeping within regulations.
Amongst our clients are both national and international companies, whom we represented nationally before the Competition Bureau, in the courts and in the Competition Tribunal, and worldwide before various competition review authorities. Expert counsel is given on various antitrust concerns: international cartel prosecutions, complex merger transactions, and predatory practices involving pricing, marketing, and distribution. Our practice is varied, involving representation of national and international corporations, company officers and directors, manufacturers and distributors involved in the electronics, energy, financial, textile, pipeline and telecommunications sectors. We have secured negotiated resolutions together with the Competition Bureau for our clients and have handled both civil and criminal issues.
Merger reviews have been a major focus of regulatory authorities both abroad and here. Many of the clients which retain our services, ask us to help coordinate pre-merger strategy and conduct pre-merger notification of transactions across jurisdictions. We work regularly along with competition counsel all around the world, allowing us to advocate competition matters and lead negotiations effectively on behalf of clients whose interests cross multiple jurisdictions.
In order to avoid antitrust allegations, we often offer clients with routine recommendation. Our teams of professionals provide multi-disciplinary service and advice by crafting compliance programs and workable solutions. These will help reduce the risk of our clients facing anti-competitive behavior issues. Regulatory compliance concerns and business practices are more and more coming under quasi-criminal and criminal investigation by competition regulators. We act on behalf of clients in the subsequent types of disputes involving relationships with competitors and customers: pricing policy issues like price fixing; minimum advertised pricing programs; suggested resale prices; promotional allowances and rebates. We have skill in distribution and marketing disputes involving abuse of dominance, territorial restrictions and exclusive relationships. Many of these problems have sparked a significant increase in class litigation. Our litigators have various knowledge in class action litigation.
Sam Shingal has realized there is a limited amount of information covering law and the legal industry. The legal industry has quite a lot of information that needs to be understood to become well versed. Some more great information can be found at http://ajaxlawyers.ca/.
