Despite the moratorium on inspections, FAS Russia conducts unscheduled, on-site inspections as instructed by a prosecutor’s office if signs of cartel activity are detected. Additionally, the moratorium on inspections of IT companies has been lifted.
Our Competition Law Practice provides legal support during company inspections, evaluates compliance with inspection procedures and develops strategies for collaborating with the antitrust authority to mitigate risks of antitrust case initiation.
BGP Litigation’s lawyers have experience working within the antitrust authority, including participating in inspections, and understand the inner workings of the agency.
Following an inspection, FAS Russia might initiate a case on violations of the antitrust legislation, potentially leading to additional expenses for the company. A determination of violations could result in substantial administrative fines.
Our lawyers focus on gathering evidence and identifying both procedural and substantive violations in order to build a robust defence.
