Subrata focuses his practice on all aspects of Canadian competition/antitrust law, foreign investment law, regulatory litigation and public policy advice.

He also provides high-level advice on government relations, regulatory strategy and policy issues to global and domestic clients, particularly in the media and technology sectors.
Subrata has appeared as counsel at all levels of court in Ontario, as well as before the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada.
