Practical Law: Competition Law in Singapore (2025)
Allen & Gledhill Partners Daren Shiau and Elsa Chen (Chief Economist) authored the 2025 update to the Competition Law in Singapore: Overview Q&A for Practical Law. The Q&A provides a high-level overview of the antitrust and competition law rules for restraints of trade and dominance, merger control, and the legal approach to joint ventures.
The section on restraints of trade and dominance covers the regulatory framework applicable to horizontal and vertical restraints, monopolistic behaviour and abuses of dominance, the regulatory authorities, exemptions and exclusions, penalties, third-party claims, and appeals.
The section on merger control covers the relevant rules for acquisitions, notification requirements, the timelines and rules regarding publicity and confidentiality, the substantive test, remedies, penalties, third-party claims, and appeals.
The Q&A is accompanied by a Merger Notification Flowchart.
Daren Shiau and Elsa Chen also contributed the Singapore content to the following Practical Law quick compare charts:
- Cartel Leniency: This chart covers the requirements for leniency, how leniency may benefit companies and individuals, the interaction of leniency programmes with competition compliance programmess, whether leniency applicants receive protection against civil damages actions, and whether leniency applications can be made orally.
- Merger Control: This chart answers key questions about filings, the relevant timelines, and other key pressure points relating to merger control.
The quick compare charts, which are available to subscribers, allow researchers to quickly discover, review, and compare information across multiple jurisdictions in a user-friendly visual format.
