Competition cases turn on evidence about markets: how they are defined, who holds power in them, and what a merger or a practice does to rivals and consumers. The Trade Competition Commission of Thailand (TCCT) and the courts decide those questions on the analysis put before them. Whoever builds the more credible analysis frames the case.

VA Partners builds that analysis and carries it through the proceeding. In merger control, we work from initial strategy to clearance: market definition, market shares and competitive assessment, preparation of the filing, engagement with the TCCT, and expert testimony where it is needed. In investigations and litigation, we test theories of harm against the data, measure market power, estimate exposure under the TCCT's fine and settlement rules, and give economic expert evidence on liability and damages.

Our team has worked on several of Thailand's high-stakes mergers across its major industries. We have also helped draft amendments to Thailand's competition law, advised the TCCT and served on its subcommittees, and we teach competition law and economic analysis to regulators and at leading universities.
