Competition

Competition law is all pervasive – it could impact the execution of an ostensibly simple distribution agreement or get triggered when a multi-billion dollars cross-border acquisition occurs. In India, competition is a complex and constantly evolving law, with constant amendments and increased intervention by the Competition Commission of India. Despite the short existence of the legislation, PSA has carved its Competition practice from the realm of the general commercial laws practice so as to create a team that can deliver specialized legal advice in an area indispensable to companies. Our lawyers of this group possess the ability to assist in the entire field of competition law from anti-competitive prosecution all the way to merger control.
