With the increasing economic concentration and absorption of smaller companies by market giants, the antitrust authority is becoming increasingly present and the rules of competition law have become progressively more complex, being considered fundamental for the preservation of free competition and the consumer and civil society interests. As a result, mergers submitted to the scrutiny of control bodies are carefully and rigorously reviewed, and harsh penalties are imposed on companies and individuals in the event of violations against the economic order.

Huck Otranto Camargo provides clients with legal advice on all aspects of competition law and in all its phases, including conducting negotiations on agreements subject to concentration control, notification of concentration to the Administrative Board of Defense (CADE in its Portuguese acronym) until the respective approval, the performance of administrative and judicial proceedings in defense of clients’ interests, the signature of termination commitments, and the representation of clients in cases involving violations against the economic order, in the civil scope.

The law firm also advises clients on the structuring of any operations that may be considered concentration acts, in order to prevent or minimize competitive risks, always taking into account the client’s needs and objectives.
