Key Areas of Expertise

Competition Policy Design and Reform

Crafting effective competition policies requires a deep understanding of market dynamics and regulatory frameworks. We assist governments and regulatory bodies in designing and reforming competition policies that curb anti-competitive practices, prevent monopolies, and promote fair competition across sectors. Our services include drafting competition laws, developing enforcement guidelines, and ensuring alignment with international best practices.

Antitrust Enforcement and Advocacy

Strong antitrust enforcement is essential to deter anti-competitive behavior. Macroeconsulting provides guidance on the enforcement of antitrust laws, including the investigation and prosecution of cartels, mergers, and monopolistic practices. We also offer advocacy services to raise awareness about the benefits of competition and to build support for competition-friendly policies among stakeholders.

Market Structure Analysis

Understanding market structures is key to identifying and addressing competition issues. We conduct detailed analyses of market structures, including assessments of market concentration, entry barriers, and competitive dynamics. Our insights help clients identify potential competition concerns and design targeted interventions to enhance market competitiveness.

Mergers and acquisitions can have significant implications for market competition. We provide expert advice on merger control, helping regulators and businesses assess the competitive impact of proposed mergers and acquisitions. Our services include conducting competitive assessments, preparing merger notifications, and developing remedies to address potential anti-competitive effects.

Competition Policy in Regulated Sectors

Certain sectors, such as utilities, telecommunications, and transport, require a nuanced approach to competition policy.
