Competition
Competition (or anti-trust) law is an area of legal practice that is likely to expand in the next few years. Encouraged by recent changes in legislation designed to remove obstacles facing the victims of anti-competitive practices, consumers and companies who have suffered loss are likely to bring more actions and seek injunction applications, with a greater chance of success than in the past . This is likely to have an impact on the degree to which companies need sound advice on compliance with the law.
