Internationally, competition regulators are demonstrating a renewed focus on enforcement against aggressive practices by principal companies. Our team has led the way in landmark abuse of dominance investigations and cases, including acting on significant matters for Telstra and Cabcharge.
In recent times we have seen a rise in enforcement by regulators against abuse of dominance. This is exemplified in recent heavy fines imposed by competition regulators on companies for abusive behaviour.
King & Wood Mallesons’ Competition Law team works with clients to avoid the risks of breaches of abuse of dominance provisions through pricing strategies, information sharing arrangements across related businesses and their dealings with smaller competitors in vertically integrated industries.
Drawing on our relationships with regulators, we reach optimal resolutions for our clients, including termination of investigations and minimising any penalties and/or reputational damage.
