Competition & Anti-Trust Law
The Firm has one of the largest competition law practices in India with over 20 years of experience under the modernized competition regime in India. We were one of the first firms to identify this new area of law and set up a dedicated practice in the year 2003.
The team advises on the full bouquet of antitrust and competition issues, including competition investigations, litigation, compliance, advisory, merger control, and structured numerous transactions relating to acquisitions, mergers, and amalgamations. We represent clients before the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the Competition Appellate Tribunal, the High Court, and the Supreme Court of India.
The Firm has been involved in a large majority of behavioural investigations conducted by the CCI and has conducted compliance programs and antitrust risk assessments for various organizations across sectors.
Since as early as 2004, the Firm has been working closely with the CCI to establish a robust, yet practicable, antitrust regime in India.
