Our team can advise on all aspects of consumer, competition and procurement law.

Businesses are required to comply with extensive consumer protection and competition laws. There are heavy penalties for businesses breaking competition laws including substantial fines, claims from third parties for damages and unenforceable agreements, while individuals can be imprisoned for up to five years, fined and disqualified from being directors.

Our lawyers advise businesses on certain commercial practices that are considered unfair commercial practices and general compliance. Our specialist advice ranges:

• Data protection and privacy requirements
• Potential liabilities to consumers
• Practical advice and support in resolving consumer disputes
• Procurement Management and services
• Subsidy Control, and
• Support in private investigations

We advise clients on competition law compliance and have successfully handled many high profile competition law investigations for clients.
