Competition and Anti-trust Disputes

Preventing Competition Law Issues. Expert Legal Advice.

Ensuring Fair Practices in Business

Fair competition is the cornerstone of a healthy marketplace, fostering innovation and protecting consumer interests. However, breaches of competition law can lead to serious legal and financial consequences for businesses.  At Foye Legal, we provide expert legal advice to businesses across NSW on navigating competition and antitrust disputes, ensuring compliance with the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and defending your interests in investigations or claims.

Breach of Competition Law

Competition law prohibits practices that harm market fairness, such as anti-competitive agreements or abuse of market dominance. Foye Legal helps businesses understand their obligations, identify potential breaches, and respond effectively to allegations.

Price Fixing and Cartel Investigations

Price fixing and cartel behavior, such as market sharing or bid rigging, are significant breaches of competition law and subject to strict penalties. We provide representation during investigations by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and offer strategies for resolving these issues while protecting your business.

Abuse of Market Power

Businesses with substantial market power must avoid conduct that lessens competition, such as predatory pricing or exclusive dealing. Foye Legal advises businesses on compliance with anti-competitive behavior laws and assists in defending claims or regulatory investigations.

Unlawful Restrictive Trade Practices

Restrictive trade practices, including exclusive contracts or tying arrangements, can stifle competition and breach the law. We provide clear advice on avoiding these practices and resolving disputes if they arise, ensuring compliance with competition regulations.
