Competition Law & Antitrust

Kuwait's competition regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly and businesses operating across the GCC must increasingly account for competition law considerations in their transactions, commercial arrangements, and day-to-day operations. We advise clients on all aspects of Kuwait's competition law framework, including the assessment of merger control implications in M&A transactions, the review of commercial agreements for competition compliance and the identification and management of antitrust risk in distribution, agency and licensing arrangements. Our transactional experience across some of the GCC's largest banking mergers and asset sales means we bring a practical, deal-informed perspective to competition analysis, understanding not just the legal requirements, but the commercial realities that shape how regulators approach complex transactions. We also advise clients on dealings with the Competition Protection Authority and represent institutions in regulatory enquiries and investigations.
