Antitrust and Competition

Competition laws are a primary and critical element of many commercial relationships such as mergers and acquisitions. All businesses should be aware of the impact of these laws. Our competition practice team covers both contentious and non-contentious aspects of a complex and wide-ranging area of law.

Our firm’s Antitrust and Competition Department provides legal services relating to all aspects of competition and antitrust laws. The department represents the firm’s clients before civil and criminal courts, the Competition Tribunal, and the Israel Competition Authority (ICA) Director General, as well as before regulatory and legislative authorities, and provides them legal assistance in business processes and ongoing legal advice.

Our firm, in general, and our Antitrust and Competition Department, in particular, has extensive work relations with international law firms specializing in competition and antitrust, and engages in frequent collaborations with them.

 

The cooperation between this department and other departments in our firm, including the Corporate, Litigation, and Regulation Departments, enables us to provide holistic services at the highest professional standards to every client and in every case.
