Antitrust and Competition Law
Antitrust and competition law is one of the most technical and financially risky areas for business. AMCU fines for violations of economic competition protection legislation can reach up to 10% of a company's annual turnover. Anticompetitive concerted practices, abuse of monopoly (dominant) position, illegal concentrations — each of these violations can destroy reputation and threaten business survival.
I provide legal assistance to entrepreneurs and companies at all stages of interaction with AMCU: from preventive compliance audits to defence in investigations and judicial appeals against Committee decisions. A separate focus is appealing public procurements through AMCU's appeals body, where procedural deadlines are extremely tight and a properly filed complaint can halt tenders and protect participant rights.
The legal framework includes the Law of Ukraine "On Protection of Economic Competition" (No. 2210-III), the Law "On Protection Against Unfair Competition" (No. 236/96-VR), the Law "On the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine" (No. 3659-XII), and current Supreme Court practice. Proper qualification of actions and timely engagement of a lawyer is the only way to minimise risks and preserve business.
