When faced with issues related to the acquisition of a competitor, abuse of dominant market position or unfair competition, many large companies rely upon our advice and litigation services.

At Lavery, we advise businesses on various matters involving the application of the Competition Act, particularly on commercial practices and processes. We have been recognized for many years for our expertise in class actions instituted under the Competition Act. In addition, we are the only major law firm in Montreal that has expertise in criminal and penal law, which is a significant advantage when defending against charges arising from a violation of the Competition Act, which may result in the imposition of heavy fines or a prison sentence.

Lastly, six members of our competition law group co-authored the Manuel de droit de la concurrence (Les Éditions Yvon Blais inc., 2004).
