Antitrust & Competition Law in Iran
In today’s rapidly changing regulatory environment, antitrust scrutiny is not just a distant concern but a current and expanding issue, even in emerging markets like Iran. Regulatory bodies are becoming more active in reviewing mergers, investigating anti-competitive practices, and enforcing penalties. As a result, businesses operating in or dealing with Iran must carefully navigate competition law with both foresight and precision.
At Asgari & Associates Law Firm, we help clients anticipate and address these challenges with clarity, speed, and legal rigor.
A Modern Antitrust Practice for a Complex Legal Landscape
Our competition law team delivers strategic, industry-sensitive advice that empowers companies to compete boldly while fully compliant with Iranian antitrust legislation, including the Law on Implementation of General Policies of Article 44 of the Constitution, and global best practices.
We represent both domestic and international clients in various competition matters and regularly engage with the Iranian Competition Council and other relevant regulatory bodies.
Where We Add Strategic Value
- Market Dominance & Monopoly Risk Mitigation
We perform comprehensive evaluations of market power and provide guidance on structuring commercial practices to minimise the risk of claims of abuse or unfair competition in accordance with Iranian and international standards. - Cartel, Collusion & Price-Fixing Defense
We defend clients against investigations into coordinated pricing, bid-rigging, or information-sharing, offering sophisticated strategies informed by economic realities and digital-era complexities. - Merger Control & Regulatory Clearance
Iran’s merger control regime requires pre-transaction risk assessments and, in specific sectors, formal notifications. We support clients with all aspects of antitrust due diligence, filing obligations, and the negotiation of behavioural or structural remedies.
Beyond Crisis Management
We don’t just respond to enforcement actions—we help prevent them. Our preventive services include:
- Competition Compliance Programs and Internal Audits
- Pricing Strategy & Distribution Model Risk Assessment
- Market Entry Strategy Review for Dominance Exposure
- Training for Boards and Management Teams
Competition Law Is Strategic—Not Optional
In today’s business climate, antitrust compliance belongs in the boardroom. We treat it as such—with business-savvy advice, regulatory insight, and cross-border capabilities.
Asgari & Associates is your trusted legal partner in antitrust and competition law strategy, whether entering the Iranian market, scaling operations, or responding to challenges from competition authorities.
