Overview
Competition law increasingly impacts business decisions in all sectors of the economy and is fundamental to structuring commercial arrangements and plans of action.
Using our extensive engagement handling UK, EU and APAC national and international cases we navigate your complex merger control transactions, ground-breaking investigations and litigation. Our particular experience of collective proceedings in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) – on both sides of claims – ensures intuitive and effective advice.
We regularly advise clients on competition law in their day-to-day commercial arrangements and on compliance initiatives to prevent potential disputes before they arise.
Our advice is designed to guide you in your legal and commercial decision-making. We invest time to get to know you and your business; working closely with our industry specialists, including our Retail & Consumer, Technology Media & Telecoms, and Insurance teams.
No matter how complex the underlying issues, our antitrust lawyers are committed to giving you practical, commercial options relevant to your business sector that will best address your competition challenges and maximise your opportunities.
