Property and commercial lawyers have a lot to think about when advising clients on commercial property transactions. However, competition issues are not always on their radar. Such issues can arise in relation to sale of a business, sale and purchase of land, sell-downs in a development, leases and assignments, and land covenants. What clauses might land your client in trouble? What rules and exemptions apply? What impact might trust ownership have?

Using scenarios to demonstrate the types and range of competition law issues which can and do arise in everyday transactions, Jordan Cox and Robbie Bennett will raise your awareness so you are more attuned to such issues and better placed to advise on them.
