Competition and Trade Practices

Our highly experienced lawyers provide practical and insightful advice on competition and consumer law.

The Trade Practices Act and the various State legislations are highly technical and if breached can lead to criminal prosecution, the imposition of large financial and other penalties as well as to payment of damages. The laws are far reaching and impact on all areas of commercial life. 

Our experience covers the complete range of competition and consumer matters, for example on laws which:

• Imply conditions and warranties into certain contracts
• Impose liabilities on manufacturers and importers of defective goods
• Prohibit Corporations, businesses and individual engaging in unfair conduct
• Affect the legal validity of private agreements and
• Prohibits conduct which unduly impacts on competition in the market place

We act for a range of ASX listed and small businesses in Greater Western Sydney, including financial institutions, private businesses, franchisors and franchisees and on behalf of businesses concerning ACCC notifications.  

We represent both commercial clients and private individuals in disputes in the Local, District and Supreme Courts.
