The Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment Group at Davies is once again listed as an Elite Canadian practice in the Global Competition Review (GCR) 100 – the highest category awarded in the jurisdiction and a distinction the group has held since Canada was first included in the rankings. Our practice group is also listed as one of only 27 firms worldwide in the inaugural edition of the GCR 100: FIC rankings, which identifies leading firms advising on foreign investment, screening risk and reviews across sensitive and strategically important sectors globally.
Davies' Competition, Antitrust and Foreign Investment group is counsel of choice on many of Canada's highest-profile, most complex transactions and disputes, including the majority of competition class actions nationwide. Recent notable mandates include advising Rogers on its C$4.7 billion acquisition of BCE's stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment; successfully defending StarKist and Dongwon Industries in a class action alleging a conspiracy among canned tuna producers; and representing Google LLC and Google Canada Corporation in their defence of applications launched before the Competition Tribunal concerning allegations of abuse of dominance.
The GCR 100 rankings – based on reputation, recent work and client reviews – highlight Davies' leading Competition, Antitrust, and Foreign Investment team as one of the most highly regarded in the field. Our consistent inclusion in these rankings reflects the trust clients place in us to handle their most complex matters.
