Baker & McKenzie`s Global Environment Practice

Global Antitrust & Competition

SHARE

Competition litigation is a fast growing and complex area of commercial litigation that often requires coordination of strategy across jurisdictions. Offices across the Baker & McKenzie network have contributed so as to give a multi-jurisdictional perspective on the core issues arising when bringing or defending a private claim for damages resulting from a breach of competition law.

Antitrust compliance is becoming more complex and costly. Joint investigations between local authorities are increasingly frequent and enforcement, more aggressive. As penalties become more punitive, cartel members race to self-report violations and obtain amnesty.

Baker & McKenzie can help navigate shifting antitrust and competition policies worldwide with precision and ease. We have the systems and standards — and over 300 Antitrust lawyers and professionals — to carry out the most complex, cross-border compliance strategies. We were the first law firm to successfully coordinate multijurisdictional merger filings and have since facilitated some of the largest global mergers.

Our team swiftly coordinates the first steps toward amnesty, conducting internal investigations without breaching privilege and privacy laws so that leniency applications remain credible and sound. And with fluent knowledge of procedural rules and legal systems in 36 countries, we have a good track record of achieving results for clients during dawn raids, criminal proceedings and high profile private antitrust lawsuits.
