Competition & Trade
Competition law (or Anti-trust law) is one of the most heavily litigated and regulated areas of law. From mergers and acquisitions that reshape markets to the pressures of online commerce on traditional business models, companies across all sectors are looking at the best way to gain a competitive edge.
Piper Alderman’s competition and trade group comprises senior lawyers with extensive experience and expertise in this complex legal area. Our practice goes beyond misleading or deceptive conduct and misrepresentation. We handle everything from seeking ACCC approval for mergers and participating in misuse of market power cases in the Federal Court, to advising on unfair contract terms and third-party access regimes. Our services span advisory, litigation, and compliance training.
Piper Alderman is renowned for our expertise, understanding, and professionalism. We leverage our comprehensive understanding of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and Australian Consumer Law, along with our experienced relationship with the ACCC.
We advise our clients on the best ways to maximise commercial opportunities within the guidelines set out by the regulators and assist by engaging economists, market theorists and other relevant experts.
