What are competition and antitrust claims?
Competition and antitrust claims are formal complaints filed when a person, company, or organization believes that there have been business practices that unduly restrict competition or create an abusive dominant position in the market, in violation of antitrust laws.
At Loopa, we finance litigation and arbitration related to competition law infringements and antitrust practices, a type of legal dispute that, although highly technical, has profound economic consequences for companies affected by abuses of dominant position, collusive agreements, illegal vertical restraints, or acts of unfair competition.
These disputes are particularly relevant in sectors with high market concentration or strong dependence on platforms, distributors, logistics operators, or dominant licensees. When a company is harmed by these practices, the financial damage is often considerable, but the cost and duration of litigation may lead to delays or abandonment of legal action.
Antitrust and competition defense claims require a sophisticated legal strategy and significant resources to sustain the case over time. It is not only necessary to have specialized lawyers in economic and regulatory law, but also experts in market analysis, forensic economists, pricing assessments, comparative studies, and extensive documentation. Additionally, these litigations often face powerful adversaries with access to large legal firms and structures designed to resist claims for years. All of this makes financing these types of claims a key tool for balancing forces.
At Loopa, we analyze cases of unfair competition and antitrust that have clear legal merit, high economic potential, and procedural viability.
We finance legal actions initiated by companies affected by practices such as:
- Price fixing
- Bid manipulation
- Market allocation agreements
- Selective sales refusals
- Abusive exclusivity clauses
- Covert boycotts or artificial limitations on new competitors' access
We also finance litigation for damages resulting from anticompetitive rulings issued by regulatory authorities, or for non-compliance with corrective measures imposed on dominant companies.
Our non-recourse funding model allows affected companies to pursue their claims without committing their own capital or assuming additional risks. We cover legal costs, expert opinions, economic reports, and any expenses related to the litigation, and we can also advance liquidity based on the estimated outcome of the case. If the result is favorable, we recover our investment and a previously agreed-upon share. If not, the client owes nothing. This solution transforms a legal liability into a financial asset, frees up cash flow, and enables litigation with greater negotiating power.
We finance these disputes at the local, regional, or international level, depending on the case. We evaluate claims before judicial courts, competition authorities, and arbitration courts that analyze the economic impact of restrictive market practices. We work with companies that have been unfairly excluded, harmed by discriminatory access rules, or forced to accept abusive commercial conditions that affect their competitiveness. We also collaborate with law firms specialized in competition law, supporting them in complex cases that require long deadlines and substantial technical evidence.
In markets where a few companies control most distribution channels, digital platforms, or key inputs, anticompetitive practices create artificial barriers that affect innovation, prices, and freedom of choice. At Loopa, we believe that access to justice in these matters should not depend on the size of the company or its financial resilience. That's why we finance these types of litigations with a strategic vision, providing smart capital to restore competitive conditions and compensate for the harm suffered.
If you are involved in a lawsuit of this nature, we can help finance it and move forward strongly in defending your rights.
