Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment
Advertising, Marketing and Distribution
Businesses in Canada are experiencing increased scrutiny from the Competition Bureau. Our team helps you stay ahead of the game and defends you against any challenges that arise.
Staying on the right side of the Competition Bureau means proactively complying with its policies and regulations. It also means acting quickly when faced with an inquiry, competitor claim or class action.
We advise on all aspects of dealing with the Bureau, from risk mitigation to compliance strategies, across the full range of advertising and distribution practices. When claims lead to injunctions, trials and appeals, our top competition litigators advocate for you, drawing on their deep experience in contested proceedings and consumer class actions.
Our team is at the forefront of this emerging area. We successfully advised on the first ever contested proceedings brought by the Commissioner of Competition under misleading advertising provisions of the Competition Act. And we have acted as defence counsel on significant consumer class actions regarding advertised pricing and claims.
