Cartels and Horizontal Agreements

We are experts in the assessment of the competitive effects of horizontal agreements.

There are many forms of horizontal alignment, including price fixing, information exchange, capacity coordination, bid rigging, collective purchasing, joint selling, and R&D cooperation. Whatever the issue, we analyse how the agreement impacts competition and substantiate any resulting efficiencies, technological progress or environmental benefits. We also have considerable experience of estimating damages arising from anti-competitive agreements, whether to direct or indirect customers.
