Competition
To our customers in Pakistan we bring a mastery of competition law from the world’s largest single market, the 27 countries of the European Economic Area.

In Pakistan competition law is passing through early years of development. The legislative framework and judicial precedents reflect principles of competition law that are established in developed jurisdictions such as the UK and the European Union. This is where we enjoy a unique status. With years of presence in the UK and EU we bring specialist skills in transactional work, corporate mergers and acquisitions, cartels, joint ventures, market and sector investigations, public procurement, abuse of dominant position, restrictive practices and commercial arrangements, licensing and regulatory work.

We act in competition litigation before the Competition Commission of Pakistan, the Competition Appeal Tribunal and before all mainstream courts all the way to the Supreme Court. Our practice is a mix of both contentious and non-contentious sides of competition law.

Our approach to competition law is multi-jurisdictional and because of this our clients benefit from world class legal services.
