ANTITRUST & COMPETITION

Antitrust and competition law is one of the areas of law that is most impactful on a company’s business. The growing trend of initiating criminal proceedings for violating antitrust regulations and the rise in torts and class action lawsuits accompanying such alleged violations mean that a depth of knowledge and experience is paramount to achieving a successful outcome for the client.

We also appear in hearings and motions before the Israel Antitrust Authority on issues which involve the full spectrum of antitrust and competition, including merger approvals, proceedings relating to designation as a cartel or monopoly and a whole spectrum of other antitrust issues. We also frequently represent our clients in regards to criminal investigation and antitrust related litigation in front of the Antirust Court and all other courts.

We are advising companies in regards to current and significant regulation proceedings in relation to antitrust and competition law, such as the Bill for the Promotion of Competition in the Food Industry, Business / Market Concentration Bill and the Books and Authors bill.

Our focus on and reputation in Israel’s key sectors ensures we are a first port of call for some of Israel's largest banks, credit card providers, insurance companies, telecommunications companies, upstream and downstream energy companies, retail chains, and state-owned enterprises for their antitrust concerns.
