Singled out for its strong track record in merger control and behavioural matters, Bustamante Fabara‘s competition group is particularly noted for its expertise in anticompetitive conduct mandates, including abuse of dominance, unfair competition issues and antitrust investigations. Noted for its ’high level of commitment and professionalism‘, the practice is active in the pharma, retail, logistics, insurance, and food and beverage sectors, among others. María Rosa Fabara Vera, whose significant experience in this space covers abuse of dominant position issues, anticompetitive agreements and merger control matters, heads the practice alongside José Rafael Bustamante C., a key figure for merger clearance processes in Ecuador. Other noteworthy practitioners include Daniel Castelo, who excels in appeals against the Antitrust Authority, and Kirina González, who shines in merger clearance. Francisco Ochoa joined from the State Attorney General Office in August 2023.
