Fighting Unfair Business Practices in Pakistan – Let M/s Legal Solutions Help You

Have you ever seen a company lying in its ads?
Have you been treated badly just because a big business knows you have no other option?
Or maybe a group of competitors secretly decided to fix prices so you have to pay more?

If you answered YES, then you are facing unfair business practices. The good news is:
The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) exists to stop this.
And M/s Legal Solutions is here to guide you through the entire process – simply, affordably, and effectively.


What We Do – Our Legal Services

We help people like you – business owners, consumers, and even small companies – get justice against:

·        False or misleading ads (e.g. “100% organic” when it’s not).

·        Big companies misusing their power (e.g. forcing unfair prices or blocking competitors).

·        Secret agreements between businesses (e.g. price-fixing or dividing markets among themselves).

Specifically, we file complaints before the CCP for:

1.     Deceptive marketing practices – lies, fake comparisons, copying another brand’s look.

2.     Abuse of dominant position – when a powerful company crushes smaller rivals or cheats customers.

3.     Prohibited agreements (cartels) – when competitors secretly work together to harm the market.

We also represent you in hearings, respond to CCP questions, and if the CCP rules in your favor, we help you claim financial compensation in regular courts (because the CCP itself does not give you money – but we can get it for you later).

How We Guide You – From Start to Finish

We break the journey into simple steps so you never feel lost.

Step 1 – Free initial discussion

You tell us what happened. We tell you honestly whether CCP can help.

Step 2 – Collecting proof

We help you gather screenshots, receipts, emails, advertisements – anything that shows the unfair practice.

Step 3 – Drafting & filing complaint

We write a clear complaint (in Urdu or English) and file it with the CCP. We also submit the official authorization (power of attorney) so we can legally act on your behalf.

Step 4 – Keeping you updated

Once CCP accepts the complaint, we inform you regularly. If CCP asks for more information, we respond quickly.

Step 5 – Hearing representation

When CCP calls for a hearing, we attend and argue your case. You may or may not need to come – we handle most of it.

Step 6 – Getting the final order

If CCP agrees with you, it will issue an order stopping the unfair practice and imposing a fine on the wrongdoer.

Step 7 – Claiming your money (compensation)

CCP does not give you money directly. But we then file a separate case in civil court to recover your financial losses – using the CCP’s order as strong proof.


How We Deliver Real Results

·        We have successfully filed complaints against misleading ads and dominant companies.

·        We know the exact format and evidence the CCP expects – so your complaint is not rejected on technical grounds.

·        We maintain relationships with retired CCP officers and legal experts, which helps us understand how the Commission thinks.

·        We do not stop at the CCP order. We go all the way to the High Court and Supreme Court if the other side appeals.

·        Our clients have received cease & desist orders that stopped unfair practices within weeks. Others have later won cash compensation in court.


Example – A Real-Life Scenario

A small bakery in Lahore noticed that a big biscuit company started a fake campaign saying “all other biscuits contain poison”. The bakery’s sales dropped. They came to M/s Legal Solutions.

We filed a complaint with CCP for deceptive marketing. CCP investigated, found the claims false, and ordered the big company to stop the ads immediately. Then we helped the bakery file a court case for lost profits – and they received fair compensation.

This is what we can do for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

If a company with a dominant market position (market share exceeding 40%) engages in abusive conduct—such as predatory pricing, refusing to deal, or imposing unfair trading conditions—the CCP can investigate, impose heavy fines, and order the company to stop the abusive practices.

The process can take a while, depending on the complexity of the case, the volume of evidence, and whether the respondent challenges the CCP's jurisdiction in court. Courts have sometimes directed the CCP to conclude cases within 90 days, but these timelines are aspirational rather than guaranteed.

No. The CCP does not award damages or compensation to complainants. It imposes penalties on the violator, which are deposited with the government. If you have suffered a financial loss, you must file a separate civil suit in court to claim compensation, using the CCP's order as evidence.

Non-compliance with a CCP order is a serious offense. The CCP can impose additional daily penalties for each day of non-compliance and may approach the court for enforcement. In extreme cases, criminal proceedings may be initiated.

While you can file a complaint on your own, a lawyer significantly increases your chances of success. A lawyer will properly draft the complaint, gather and present evidence effectively, represent you during hearings, and, if successful, help you claim compensation in civil court.
