Competition Law

We are one of the pioneer firms in the practice of antitrust law and have developed extensive experience in handling cases before the Procompetencia and the Contentious Administrative Jurisdiction, advising and representing national and international companies in all matters related to mergers, concentrations, cartelization, abuse of dominant position, unfair competition, unilateral practices and the franchise regime.

The effectiveness achieved by TPA in solving these cases is based on the most appropriate analysis of the respective markets from a legal and economic point of view, on the prompt and special attention to them, and on the knowledge of the clients’ business from an antitrust point of view.

We also have extensive experience in international unfair competition issues (safeguards, dumping, subsidies, dispute settlement, integration and market access).

In antitrust matters, we provide multidisciplinary strategic planning advice to companies regarding the vertical integration of their businesses, their distribution activities and contractual aspects, based on Venezuelan regulations. This service is equally relevant when dealing with conglomerates that are not only vertically integrated, but also horizontally integrated, with a presence in substitute and complementary markets.
