The team is recognised by clients and independent commentators for providing leading advice on the most complex and high-profile competition law issues in the market.
We advise on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious competition law, such as mergers and acquisitions (including applications for Commerce Commission clearance and authorisation), informal merger notifications, misuse of market power and access issues, and general advisory work. We also represent clients in Commerce Commission investigation and enforcement matters, such as cartel investigations and applications for leniency, as well as acting for third party opponents to mergers.
We frequently work with leading legal and economic advisers in other jurisdictions as part of multinational merger and cartel/leniency teams.
We work alongside our clients to develop a deep understanding of our clients' business and the industries they work in. As a result we are able to tailor our advice to our clients’ specific commercial needs and assist them to achieve their goals.
