A cartel can cause losses to you or your company. Claim the damages and defend your rights.
It is an illegal agreement between several companies which should be competing against each other instead of agreeing on the prices of a product or a service, either as buyers or providers.
A cartel can emerge in any area where few operators have a big share of the market and can damage companies and individuals as real as you.
If companies do not compete against each other, they do not allow you to participate in the market in equal footing and they infringe your right to choose freely . This is why authorities go after organizations which are suspicious of establishing a cartel.
When a Cartel is fined by a competition authority, the sanction to the companies is collected by the state. What you may not know is that, when you have been harmed by a cartel you have the right to claim a compensation for the damages you have suffered!
Examples of cartels
We have compiled several examples of cartels to help you figure out the consequences they have on consumers and businesses.
After our journey together and on our own in several prestige firms we now focus in high complexity law procedures and claims against cartels, wether they are collective or individual.
We defend companies and citizens rights and we offer you all our experience in the procedural, merchant, criminal areas and, of course, in lawsuits for infractions of free market policies.
I also teach in the Master's Degree of Procedural and Merchant Law organized by the Instituto Superior de Derecho y Empresa-ISDE and I have been included in the legal directory Best Lawyers® in the practices of ‘Insolvency and Reorganization Law’ and ‘Litigation’.
Do you need help in a high complexity litigation? Do you think you could have been the victim of a cartel? Do you have doubts about competence and free market practices?

This case is a little bit different. The dairy industry arranged a drop of the prices of acquisition of raw milk to increase their gross margins. As a consequence, many farms had to close.
