Competition disputes are technical, complex and often intense. They can land you in front of the Competition Tribunal or in court, including in civil and criminal matters. Resolving them successfully is critical to your business – and that’s our team’s sole focus. We collaborate closely with you to map out a strategy, minimize risk and manage and litigate the dispute. And whether a matter is settled inside or outside the courtroom, our lawyers advocate fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for you.

Our experience in defending cutting-edge cases – for companies as diverse as Mars, Staples and Google – is grounded in the deep expertise of our unrivalled Competition group, headed by a former Commissioner of Competition. Whether you’re facing a contested merger or a dispute around price-fixing, bid-rigging, misleading advertising or abuse of dominance, our team works alongside you to defend your interests. We’ve acted as counsel in numerous cases for and against the Competition Bureau and can provide valuable insights into the enforcement approach taken by the Bureau in Canada, as well as by other regulators internationally.
