Canadian Competition

CRA’s competition economics team is the clear standard for your most critical cases in Canada.

CRA experts have provided testimony and economic analysis in many landmark competition and regulatory cases in Canada. Leading Canadian law firms, private parties, and the Competition Bureau trust CRA’s team to provide practical advice and rigorous analysis in matters spanning all enforcement provisions under the Competition Act, including mergers, abuse of dominance, price fixing, class certification, and misleading advertising, among others.

Our experts in Canada include former senior officials with the Competition Bureau and academics noted for their contributions to the law and economics literature. Published researched by CRA’s global competition economics team has pioneered how economists and enforcers consider the competitive effects of mergers and abuse of dominance claims.

In the face of major and ongoing amendments to Canada’s competition laws, our Canadian clients face new economic challenges, many of which CRA economists already deal with in other jurisdictions. CRA’s demonstrated expertise in the United States, Europe, and globally allows us to leverage our international experience to advise our Canadian clients in these matters more novel to Canada. This includes areas such as excessive and unfair pricing, right to repair, drip pricing, no-poaching and wage-fixing agreements, and calculating damages and financial remedies.
