COMPETITION LAW

STRATEGIC ADVICE AND REPRESENTATION

Competition is the essence of healthy business, but sometimes enterprises and individuals can intentionally and unintentionally fall foul of the rules governing what is fair competition. With a deep understanding of this area of law, we appreciate how on a practical level competition law rules can affect and benefit both small and medium sized businesses in their domestic and international commerce. We give our clients support and representation in both criminal prosecutions and civil litigation taken under competition laws and in dealing with the Irish competition authority (the CCPC). We provide reliable advice on compliance with competition laws, both in ensuring compatibility of agreements and in the conduct of business, including abuse of a dominant position and anti-competitive arrangements. Our thorough understanding of this field, also enables us to advise clients when competition law can be used for their benefit.
