Common Challenges Faced by Clients in the Realm of Competition Law

Businesses operating in India often face complex regulatory environments where a single misstep can result in substantial penalties, reputational harm, and litigation.

Some key challenges include:

1.    Unintentional non-compliance with merger notification thresholds
2.    Exposure to cartel or collusion allegations during tenders and bids
3.    Pricing practices deemed predatory or unfair by regulators
4.    Limited internal awareness about competition law obligations
5.    Navigating dual scrutiny from Indian and international regulators

Such issues can arise both proactively (during growth or restructuring) and reactively (during investigation or litigation). Our competition law lawyers understand these real-world complications and tailor solutions accordingly.
