Profile

The breadth and scale of our U.S., UK, and EU practice together with our global network and industry knowledge means we are uniquely placed to advise on complex multijurisdictional matters involving parallel proceedings and inter-agency co-operation.

As one of the premier competition practices in the world we handle the full spectrum of antitrust issues including merger control; cartel and behavioral investigations; dominance and monopolizations; compliance and counseling; and vertical and horizontal agreements.

We have extensive experience in successfully guiding high-profile transactions through national public interest reviews and managing the interplay between foreign direct investment/national interest screening and merger control regimes.

We also advise on market investigations and sector-specific regulatory issues; public procurement and competitive tendering; state aid and UK subsidy control; and litigation, including antitrust class action lawsuits and complex litigation at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property law.
