Antitrust & Competition
CCI proceedings, Director General investigations and NCLAT appeals — for businesses under investigation and for those seeking to enforce competition law.
What we do
Antitrust and competition law governs how businesses compete. The Competition Act, 2002 prohibits anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position, and combinations that cause appreciable adverse effects on competition. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) investigates alleged violations; the Director General conducts the inquiry; appeals lie to the NCLAT.
At Midas Legal, we advise businesses on compliance and represent them in CCI proceedings, DG investigations and appeals. We also advise on the competition aspects of mergers and acquisitions, and advise companies that have been harmed by anti-competitive conduct on how to bring an effective complaint.
Specific matters we handle
