Competition & EU

The regulatory environment in Oman changes on a frequent basis and so it is important that businesses are up to date on the latest developments in competition and consumer protection. We take proactive approach to advising our clients on the laws that will be implemented and ensure we keep them updated.

You face an ever increasing risk of regulatory intervention, significant penalties, damages, litigation and criminal liability. An integrated international team of dedicated competition and regulatory experts, including former regulators, can advise you on the entire range of contentious and non-contentious competition law issues. We regularly advise clients on competition matters across multiple jurisdictions, working closely together, to deliver consistent and joined-up advice. We have a successful track record in representing clients before national authorities and courts.

The CMS Competition Group is one of the largest teams in the market. We support clients on all their competition law needs: cartels, horizontal and vertical restraints, abuse of dominance, merger control, state aid, investigations and compliance, regulatory appeals, criminal liability, damages litigation, public procurement and consumer protection. Being compliant and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies is key. We focus not only on problem solving but also on how you can avoid problems in the first place. Our large team of competition lawyers has extensive experience in helping navigate these challenges so that you can focus on your business. We have in-depth knowledge of competition rules across different countries and markets and use our sector approach to help us understand your business environment and get to grips with your issues.
