COMPETITION LAW

Nortons stands at the forefront of competition law in South Africa. Our firm has an unequalled track record in navigating complex, ground-breaking mergers.

This is testament to our strategic insight, extensive experience and the deep understanding we have of the ever-evolving competition landscape, both locally and internationally.

Our direct experience working with competition authorities across the continent means our pan-African reach allows us to provide seamless, strategic counsel to clients operating throughout Africa.

REGULATORY LITIGATION

Nortons has been involved in numerous seminal Constitutional court cases in South Africa including the precedent-setting AllPay decision dealing with the social grant tender, the analogue switch off case relating to ensuring that poor South Africans are not cut off from access to television, the challenges to the processes of the Judicial Service Commission, the Constitutional Court cases relating to the purported extension of the term of office of the former Chief Justice and the attempt to postpone the local elections, as well as several constitutional cases relating to the provisions of the Competition Act and the ambit of unlawful competition in a constitutional setting. Nortons has also been involved in precedent setting environmental law cases, as well as other key cases before the Constitutional Court and the High Court.

COMMERCIAL LITIGATION & ARBITRATION

The firm has an outstanding track record in relation to commercial litigation and arbitration.

We have successfully litigated matters on behalf of clients in the medical and pharmaceutical, oil and gas, aviation, consumer goods, telecommunications, mining, downstream diamonds, general industrial, motor vehicle, publishing, media and healthcare industries.

WHITE-COLLAR CRIME

We have developed a very impressive team to deal with white-collar crime matters and have been involved in a number of groundbreaking settlements and resolutions with the National Prosecution Authority.

Our white-collar crime competence includes engaging with a number of local law enforcement agencies, including the National Prosecuting Authority, the Special Investigating Unit, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (the Hawks), as well as a number of foreign law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the FBI), the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
