Competition Law

Competition law applies not only to mergers, state aid and public procurement but also to many day to day business contracts and relationships.  All businesses need to consider whether any of their agreements or activities could be deemed anti-competitive.  Our experienced team can help ensure that you do not infringe UK or EU competition law.

Issues we advise on include:

  • anti-competitive agreements and practices (e.g. price fixing, restrictive agreements, predatory pricing, cartels);
  • use of the block exemptions;
  • abuse of a dominant market position;
  • restrictive covenants and restraint of trade;
  • merger control;
  • state aids;
  • discount policies and distribution policies.
