Healthy competition is essential to drive innovation, produce better outcomes for consumers and fuel economic growth.
Competition law seeks to curb practices that undermine or restrict competition to the detriment of consumers. Competition law infringements include abuses of dominant market positions by companies and anti-competitive agreements between companies.
Our Competition Litigation practice seeks to hold bad actors to account by pursuing actions for compensation and relief for competition law infringements for those that have suffered harm.
We champion the consumer and support the innovators to tackle the ever-increasing power of the biggest, most powerful firms.
