Competition Services
 KPMG Forensic has a dedicated
team of experienced competition
professionals. We can provide
robust, commercial and practical
advice on a wide range of competition
issues, such as:
Mergers
- Where a competition authority’s
investigation of a merger
raises serious concerns
requiring parties to give
undertakings, we can act
as Independent Trustee
to monitor them.
- We can help steer parties
through the practicalities of
implementing undertakings, gaining
the confidence of the competition
authorities while limiting business
disruption.
Investigations
- With greatly increased
investigatory powers, competition
authorities are conducting
many more investigations.
We are able to help clients
respond to dawn raids and
investigations.
- Working with lawyers and economists,
we can use forensic technology
to capture evidence quickly,
advise on tactics and help prepare
robust factual and financial
submissions.
Damages
- Third parties can bring
actions for damages before
the Competition Appeal
Tribunal (CAT), where they
have suffered losses as
a result of infringements
of competition law.
- We can help to achieve recoveries
for claimants, combining our
experience of damages claims
in commercial litigation with
relevant economic analysis.
State Aid
- We have experience of
working with lawyers to
assist clients in connection
with EC State Aid matters,
in particular under the
Market Economy Investor
Principle (MEIP) for example,
as to whether a proposed
injection of funds constitutes
State Aid.
KPMG Forensic has held two breakfast
seminars looking at merger and
market remedies, one with the
European Commission’s Competition
Directorate in November 2005 and
the other with the UK Competition
Commission in October 2007.
