Dentons today welcomes competition and consumer partner, Elizabeth Sarofim, further enhancing the Firm’s offering for clients.

Elizabeth has experience in advising clients on competition law issues in a wide range of industries and regularly advises both domestic and international clients on their rights and obligations under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act.

She has experience in securing ACCC clearance for merger transactions involving domestic and international clients and ensuring that commercial transactions are structured consistently with competition law requirements.

She also advises clients on ACCC investigations and enforcement actions. Elizabeth’s previous experience working at the ACCC gives her considerable experience analysing the competitive effects of mergers and enforcing Australian competition law provisions.

Dentons’ Australia Chair and Australasia Region CEO, Doug Stipanicev, said that Elizabeth’s addition to the partnership adds to the growth of the Firm.

“Elizabeth brings a wealth of experience acting for and against the competition regulator and acting for large private companies. Elizabeth’s practical experience combined with her rich academic background in this area will strengthen Dentons’ national consumer law and competition team and enhance our client services in this specialist area.”
