The Davies Competition & Foreign Investment Review group is involved at all stages of the merger review process, from strategic planning through to the management of post-closing issues. Our inside knowledge and depth of experience in dealing with the Competition Bureau and our prior involvement in a wide variety of industries, including financial services, communications, mining and consumer products, enhance our ability to develop strategies, evaluate risk and recommend alternative solutions to minimize a client's risk of competition law exposure in Canada and abroad.

We also efficiently and effectively manage multijurisdictional competition submissions and coordinate the preparation of merger notifications in other jurisdictions for both domestic and international clients.

We strategize with and advise clients on how to implement joint ventures and other types of strategic alliances in order to minimize competition law risk and avoid criminal prosecution.

In addition, members of the group have experience representing clients on merger issues before the Competition Tribunal, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada, on both a contested and consent basis.
