Anti-competitive Practices

Legalfor provides business assistance to ensure the compliance to the rules of the Consumer Code, through the control of advertising and general conditions of sale, warranty, withdrawal, and so on.

 

Assistance is also provided in proceedings before the Competition Authority, either by analysing the legal profiles of competitors’ behaviour and reporting any non-compliance, or by defending companies during proceedings initiated against them.

 

These proceedings can lead to high fines, but also to settlements with commitments (without sanctions) or to dismissals. In the case of Authority sanction decisions Legalfor offers its expertise in handling appeals before the TAR (Regional Administrative Tribunal) of Lazio.
