In order to prevent antitrust allegations, we often provide clients with routine advice. Our teams of professionals provide multi-disciplinary service and advice by crafting workable solutions and compliance programs. These will help reduce the risk of our clients facing anti-competitive behavior problems. Business practices and regulatory compliance issues are increasingly coming under criminal and quasi-criminal investigation by competition regulators. We act on behalf of clients in the following kinds of disputes involving relationships with customers and competitors: pricing policy problems like for instance price fixing; minimum advertised pricing programs; suggested resale prices; promotional allowances and rebates. We have experience in marketing and distribution disputes involving exclusive relationships, abuse of dominance and territorial restrictions. A lot of these problems have sparked a significant increase in class litigation. Our litigators have a wide range of skill in class action litigation.
