Competition policy

Synergies has advised on a range of trade practices areas including the preparation of market definitions, preparing submissions to the ACCC on authorisation applications and advising on economic issues surrounding Part IV of the Trade Practices Act. Specific projects we have worked on include preparing:

• advice on market definitions in the forestry, health, energy, transport and gambling industries
• a submission for a client in relation to the competition issues associated with a capacity allocation system at a bulk handling port in the context of an ACCC authorisation process
• advice for a client on the implications of various pricing strategies for potential breaches of section 46 of the Trade Practices Act
