The assumption that all companies seek to increase their profits leads to conduct that creates conditions for competition.
Our objective is to heighten our involvement in this area of the law so as to eventually inform the development of economic efficiency within the framework of the Competition Act. Since the new Competition Act came into force in 1999 in South Africa, competition law has expanded significantly in South Africa. The law has had an impact on South African corporate life, especially in the area of mergers and acquisitions.
Our competition law team has wide-ranging experience in this new field, to assist our clients in all aspects of competition law such as merger control (including multi-jurisdictional filing), restrictive practices, exemptions, abuse of dominance, structuring of transactions and pre-merger counselling and competition litigation.
We also have expertise in conducting competition law audits and formulating compliance programmes that are especially tailored to meet our clients’ needs. Compliance programmes assist our clients to compete effectively in the market without breaching the provisions of the Competition Act.
