How we help with competition and unfair-trade-practice complaint

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers agreements, pricing and market-access evidence, communications, relevant transaction data and prior authority correspondence. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • When can pricing or exclusivity become a competition issue?

    Articles 5–6 of the Competition Law address anticompetitive arrangements and abuse of dominance, including price coordination, market division and exclusion. An exclusive term or strong market position is not by itself the whole legal test. Identify the product market, parties, conduct and competitive effect. Article 25 separately permits an injured person to seek compensation before the competent court. Identify the conduct, parties, relevant products and effect on customers or market access. Keep evidence of pricing, exclusivity or exclusion separate from a private contract grievance. A difficult competitor or lost sale alone does not establish a competition-law infringement.

CounselO Legal Reduces Commercial Commission Claim by 83%

CounselO Legal redirected a SAR 3.48 million commercial commission dispute into a limited liability of only SAR 584,000 by dissecting the undertaking letter and tying the commission to amounts actually received rather than the project’s total value. Although the underlying entitlement was established, part of the percentage was excluded because the advance-payment condition was not met, reducing the claim by more than 83%, with the outcome upheld on appeal.

How CounselO Legal Reduced a SAR 500,000 Claim to SAR 227,000

CounselO Legal was presented with a commercial claim in which the claimant sought SAR 500,000. After reviewing the case and analysing the documents, CounselO Legal developed a defence strategy based on breaking down the claim and separating established amounts from compensation and damages requiring independent proof. In cooperation with the defendant’s legal representative, the case concluded with a judgment awarding only SAR 227,000—reducing the claim by SAR 273,000, or approximately 54.6%. The outcome was subsequently upheld on appeal.

Dismissal of Franchise Agreement Termination and Compensation Claim

This case study examines how CounselO Legal developed an effective defense strategy in an action seeking termination of a franchise agreement and SAR 500,000 in compensation.
