The firm has handled significant work in the Competition Commission of India (CCI) which happens to be geographically located right opposite our offices. Our emphasis has been to pursue cases involving anti-competitive agreements under s.3 and abuse of dominance under s.4 of the Competition Act, 2002 (Act). We have also represented clients against whom the Commission has issued directions for an inquiry by the Director General (DGCCI), pursuant to the powers of the Commission under ss. 19 & 27.

The firm has participated in investigations carried out by the DGCCI under s.41 of the Act. We have also handled challenges to the judgements of the CCI both at the High Court of Delhi as also before the Competition Appellate Tribunal. At the initial stages when the Competition Act, 2002 was made applicable (in 2009), we also handled transitional cases that came up from the Monopolies & Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) Commission and unfair trade practice cases of the MRTP Commission that were transferred to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

The firm has wide exposure in this field of law with reported judgments and our advocates have represented Fortune 500 companies, Indian multi-nationals, large real estate companies and an association representing an industry segment.

Apart from defending cases involving competition disputes, the firm has also given advice to various multinationals and our regular clients to protect against anti-competitive practices or conduct and also in relation to matters arising from ss. 5 & 6 of the Competition Act, 2002 (combination regularization). The firm has demonstrated that it is strongly placed to act for respondents in commercial competition cases and our record in this regard has been 100% success for all respondent briefs.
