Competition Law
We offer up-to-date advice on this complex area, ensuring you are fully compliant and helping you if a competitor’s breach of the law is harming your business.
Businesses can no longer assume that competition law is something which only effects multinationals, many SMEs are now being fined. A failure to comply with competition law can, amongst other things, lead to substantial fines and render your commercial agreements unenforceable.
Not only that but non-compliance can result in expensive investigations, a huge diversion of management time, third party damages claims and adverse publicity. LA can provide training to relevant people in your organisation and help you implement a compliance programme. Steps like this significantly help to reduce the risks associated with non-compliance and can lead to the authorities imposing reduced penalties in the event of a breach of the law.
Competition law is not just a threat but can provide valuable opportunities to deal effectively with unfair competition. If you feel that a competitor’s behaviour is having a detrimental impact on your business, then you may want to come to us for practical and impartial advice on what can be done.
