Author(s): Hannah C. L. Ha

Whether entering the market or already operating in Hong Kong, is your business equipped to meet the requirements of the Competition Ordinance? Learn how Hong Kong’s competition law shapes a fair and thriving market — and why the work of the Competition Commission matters to your success, from the latest “Competition Commission (Hong Kong): Overview, Practical Law Practice Note”.

Our Commercial Managing Partner and Co-Head of Antitrust & Competition, Hannah Ha, was once again invited by Thomson Reuters Practical Law to author this latest Practice Note. The note distils the key principles of Hong Kong’s competition law and brings them to life through a clear explanation of the Competition Commission’s role, powers and enforcement approach.

It provides practical insights into how the Commission investigates and assesses potential breaches of the Competition Ordinance — from its investigation and decision-making processes to the determination of penalties and its current enforcement priorities.

The Practice Note also highlights the Commission’s active cooperation with local and international regulators, including authorities in Mainland China, underscoring the increasingly coordinated approach to tackling anti competitive conduct across jurisdictions.

For businesses operating in Hong Kong, these developments are more than regulatory background — they directly shape how commercial practices are assessed and enforced in today’s market.
