Competition Law

We are cognisant of the importance of broad economic participation and market regulation to enhance competition in various markets. As such, we have acquired the necessary expertise on the law regarding competition and associated regulatory compliance as well as the impact of prohibited practices on competition such as: mergers that restrict competition; abuse of market dominance by dominant corporations; restricted vertical and horizontal agreements; online shopping and the impact of artificial intelligence and pricing algorithms and discriminatory practices. We assist our clients with responding to queries from the Competition Commission, lodging and opposing complaints and representation at the Competition Tribunal and the Competition Appeal Court (and further appeals to superior courts). We also provide context based and well researched legal opinions that considers not only the legal imperatives but also the practical economic situations within the affected industry or sector.
