Antitrust & Securities

By: Adv. Eli Shimony

In the free market economy characteristic of most western countries, the common approach is that market forces are operating in an accessible, free, open, and competitive environment. In reality, in almost any economy, there are monopolies that control a certain industry and abuse the lack of competition in that field. If you or your business were wronged by monopolistic or aggressive conduct, Eli Shimony Israeli law firm will examine whether your case is appropriate for an inspection by the Israeli Antitrust Authority. We will represent you in cases where competition is adversely affected in a variety of illegal scenarios: price coordination between two players in the same field (cartel), binding contracts between products and services, “predatory” pricing that abuses your lack of choice as consumers or diminishes your profit margins as businesses, the stipulation of the provision of any service or product on the refusal to transact with a third party, an arbitrary increase of prices as a result of the introduction of a new player’s products, blocking markets through commercial sanctions and more.

Class actions against monopolies and cartels allow the ‘small’ player to enforce the rules of fair and free competition, create economic incentives to decrease prices, and assist the introduction of new players. Our firm also represents defendants in the antitrust field, as well as officeholders in public companies in class actions in the securities field.
