Competition-and-Antitrust
All legal services are provided in accordance with the Bar Council of India and applicable State Bar Council regulations. Assistance includes compliance, documentation, representation before legal forums (where permissible), advisory work, merger notifications, and regulatory guidance—without solicitation or outcome-related commitments.
Overview of Competition Law Practice
Competition law covers regulatory frameworks associated with fair markets, restrictions on anti-competitive conduct, merger control, and compliance obligations. The work may involve regulatory filings, documentation review, advisory work, and procedural engagement before statutory authorities and courts, depending on the nature of the matter and permissions under legal practice rules.
Anti-Competitive Agreements
Some business arrangements may require scrutiny under competition regulations to ensure they do not adversely affect market structure or lawful trade. Assistance may include legal assessment, compliance analysis, and documentation review to ensure alignment with statutory requirements.
Cartels
Practices such as price coordination, market division, or restrictive bidding may be treated as cartel behaviour subject to regulatory assessment. Legal assistance may include documentation review, compliance guidance, and participation in permitted procedural stages before relevant authorities.
Other Agreements
Commercial arrangements including franchise, supply, licensing, or joint venture arrangements may involve competition compliance considerations. Advisory includes reviewing contracts and identifying provisions requiring alignment with competition law standards.
Abuse of Dominant Position
Possessing a dominant market position is not restricted, but conduct perceived as exclusionary or unfair may attract scrutiny. Guidance includes compliance frameworks, risk reduction strategies, and representation where permitted before relevant forums.
Merger Control
Mergers, acquisitions, and combinations meeting statutory thresholds may require notification to regulatory authorities. Assistance may include documentation preparation, filing process support, and compliance advisory to ensure timelines and legal thresholds are observed.
Competition Compliance & Training
Compliance programs help organizations align their processes with competition law principles. Trainings, including dawn-raid preparedness where relevant, assist in creating awareness of regulatory expectations and procedural handling.
Competition Advisory
Competition advisory includes legal review of market behavior, agreements, risk factors, and compliance frameworks while ensuring alignment with legal ethics and statutory obligations. Preventive legal advisory is encouraged to minimize regulatory conflicts.
