The maturing of the Competition Ordinance (Cap. 619) in recent years has brought into focus heightened regulatory scrutiny for businesses in Hong Kong, targeting anti-competitive practices and market dominance behaviours. In response to this evolving legal landscape, our chambers boasts a strong contingent of specialists in competition law.
With experience acting for both the Competition Commission and respondents, our members have been at the forefront of several pioneering competition law proceedings. From advising on the scope of the Commission’s investigation powers and prospects of liability, to acting in court proceedings concerning price-fixing, market-sharing and bid-rigging conduct, our members have been actively involved in the latest developments in this rapidly evolving area of law. Specialists in this area have been recognised for ‘pre-empting their opponents’ moves’ and for their ‘meticulous work’ in this arena. Parkside has secured regular instructions from the Competition Commission particularly after securing an acquittal of Respondents in the landmark Nutanix case. This was a watershed case and a forerunner in the relatively nascent landscape in Hong Kong.
Beyond litigation, our competition law experts also provide strategic advice in navigating the regulatory framework, from analysing business practices to ensure compliance to advising on options, practical next steps and strategy in the face of potential or actual enforcement actions.
