In recent public communications, regulators in both the US and Europe have expressly committed themselves to vigorous enforcement against such practices. This is exemplified in recent heavy fines imposed by competition regulators on companies for abusive behaviour.
The SAMUEL BECKFORD competition team has extensive experience of assisting clients with complex dominance related issues and take an active role in the policy debate through our work for clients and in our other professional activities.
We assist clients with leading market positions by:

- understanding the legal and economic theory whilst assessing the practical risks in a commercial context
- advising on the procedural and substantive issues arising from abuse of dominance investigations initiated by national competition and regulatory authorities
- advising on appeals against decisions of national competition and regulatory authorities
