Preventive antitrust counsel

Your company operates in concentrated markets, belongs to industry associations, or maintains commercial agreements with competitors, distributors or suppliers, and wants to reduce the risk of anticompetitive conduct before it becomes a problem.

Prevent rather than correct

The greatest competition risk usually arises from everyday conduct: exchanges of sensitive information among competitors, exclusivity clauses, pricing policies, or participation in industry associations. Law 27,442 sanctions practices that restrict competition, so acting early helps avoid significant contingencies.

We review contracts, commercial policies and company practices to identify risk areas and propose concrete adjustments tailored to the sector and size of the organization.

Competition compliance programs

We design and update compliance programs geared to competition regulations, including internal policies, protocols for industry meetings, guidelines for information exchange, and training for the commercial, procurement and management areas.

An effective program is not a formal document: it is a sustained practice that helps detect and stop risky conduct in time, and demonstrates the company's diligence. We support its implementation and periodic review.

Common mistakes

• Exchanging sensitive commercial information with competitors without control
• Assuming industry practices are always permitted
• Adopting a merely formal compliance program without real application
• Failing to train those who make everyday commercial decisions
• Leaving competition analysis until a conflict arises
