Antitrust Law
Antitrust Law
Competition law and merger control in UzbekistanWe advise businesses on all aspects of Uzbek competition law — helping clients navigate merger control requirements, avoid unfair competition risks, and respond strategically to regulatory investigations by the Antitrust Authority.
Uzbekistan's competition legislation has evolved significantly in recent years. Our antitrust practice helps companies understand their obligations, obtain required clearances before completing transactions, and respond to any investigation by the Agency for the Development of Competition and Consumer Protection (ACCP).
We also advise on advertising law compliance — an area that intersects closely with competition regulation in Uzbekistan — reviewing marketing campaigns, pricing promotions, and comparative advertising for legal risk.
