Anti-Trust and Competition Law Before the CCI Gets Involved
The Competition Act, 2002 governs mergers, cartel conduct, and abuse of market dominance in India, and the CCI has gotten considerably more active in recent years - merger notifications that would have cleared quietly a decade ago now draw real scrutiny. We help clients navigate that shift rather than get caught by it.
Most of our competition law work happens before a deal or a pricing decision is finalized, not after a CCI notice arrives. That's deliberate - the options narrow considerably once an investigation is already underway.
Our Anti-Trust & Competition Services Include:
Merger Control
Merger notifications and Competition Commission of India (CCI) approvals.
Anti-Trust Compliance
Reviewing agreements and practices for competition-law risk before they become a problem.
Investigation Assistance
Representing clients in cartel and dominance-abuse investigations before the CCI.
Litigation and Disputes
Competition law disputes before courts and appellate tribunals.
Compliance Training
Workshops on where the competition-law risk actually sits in your business.
Advisory Services
Pricing strategy, joint ventures, and distribution agreements, reviewed for competition risk.
We'd rather review a merger structure or a distribution agreement before it's signed than defend it in front of the CCI afterward. Both are possible; only one is cheap.
