Market investigations and sector inquiries
The challenges
When an inquiry is announced it will place your industry under the spotlight, perhaps even your company in particular, and may call into question long established business practices. The way you conduct your business may receive intense media scrutiny, your share price may be adversely affected and you may be on the receiving end of negative publicity. As far as possible you will want to be in control of the process, so that you can predict the possible outcomes accurately and influence the thinking of the regulator.
How we can help
We have experience of working on investigations across a wide range of sectors, having advised companies on half of all the inquiries conducted by the UK Competition Commission over the last five years.
We have experience of high level including before the European Commission and can represent you or help you to represent yourself.
Our priority is to make sure you are well prepared so that you can put forward your best possible case and influence the outcomes of the investigation.
In short, our aim is to make sure you receive no surprises during the course of the inquiry.
Our experience has enabled us to influence the outcomes of investigations for the client's benefit.
