Competition and Antitrust
Competition and fair trade matters require consideration of transaction structures and terms, the parties' relationships and their actual commercial practices. Before pursuing new business or transactions or changing existing commercial relationships, it is important to assess the legal issues concerning competition and fair dealing.
KUDO advises on contracts and commercial policies, the development and revision of internal competition compliance standards, and commercial disputes. We organize the facts and evidence needed for Korea Fair Trade Commission investigations and hearings and subsequent litigation, and develop a response. Taking account of the transaction's purpose and business operations, we examine the terms that can be adjusted and the associated legal risks.
