CARTEL INVESTIGATIONS
Allegro Consulting provides expert advice for companies in cartel investigations. In the case of tacit coordination (which is not prohibited by regulations per se) the economics of horizontal agreements require a rigorous assessment of the market characteristics.
In case of horizontal agreements, the followings should be considered:
- Market transparency;
- Market structure (stable or varying demand/supply conditions, entry barriers, level of innovation etc.);
- Effectiveness of the coordination;
- Mechanisms of retaliation.
On request, Allegro Consulting can prepare an assessment of the market data that supports your company’s case in front of the competition authorities.
In addition, as a follow-up to cartel decisions Allegro Consulting also provides economic and quantitative assessment of cartel damages.
