The Competition Law imposes strict conduct obligations on all business entities and dominant actors in particular. At S. Horowitz, we provide such players with business-focused practical advice that balances legal risk management with our clients’ commercial objectives in the complex arena of Israeli competition law.
The Israeli Competition Authority has the power to impose administrative fines, declare entities as monopolies and enforce specific restrictions on their business conduct, including tailored limitations. Violation of these obligations may lead to civil lawsuits and class actions seeking significant damages, injunctions, and other civil remedies, to administrative enforcement proceedings and in extreme cases may even result in criminal charges.
We advise corporations with dominant positions in any market based on many years of unique experience, offering a deep understanding of the legal and economic issues that determine market definition and product-relevant markets. On the flip side, we also assist clients seeking to act against monopolistic entities for violations of the Competition Law.
As a top-ranked firm in the field of competition law, we bring proven experience in handling the most complex and sensitive monopoly cases. We act decisively before the Competition Authority, the Competition Tribunal, and various courts while tailoring the legal strategy to the specific challenges of each case. The department has extensive experience representing international companies operating in Israel in these contexts.
