International and domestic clients involved in complex mergers, or who are accused of participating in price-fixing cartels, or who become embroiled in class actions or other competition litigation, all have one thing in common: they need the best competition lawyers.
In Canada, that means Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC).
FMC has one of Canada’s leading competition/antitrust practices. Our lawyers have been involved in precedent-setting decisions in Canadian competition law and in significant mergers and other transactions. We understand competition law and enforcement and we know the enforcers; we apply that knowledge effectively to achieve successful solutions for our clients. In the increasingly global environment of merger regulation and competition enforcement, we work effectively with clients and lawyers in the U.S., Europe and other continents in coordinating effective responses for our clients.
We have extensive experience acting as counsel for private sector clients and for the Commissioner of Competition in competition litigation before the Competition Tribunal, the Supreme Court of Canada and all levels of provincial and federal courts.
