We also have antitrust and competition teams with significant expertise in Australia, Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the group is well recognised with leading antitrust and competition lawyers in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.

How we add value and create solutions
Our antitrust, competition and regulatory lawyers offer:
- Experience working for some of the world’s leading companies – and for regulators, public sector bodies, sovereign states and trade associations.
- Expertise in all aspects of EU antitrust, competition and regulatory law.
- Expertise in national antitrust, competition and regulatory law - in the UK and other major European jurisdictions, across Asia, in Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Unusually among leading competition practices, we have a large number of senior lawyers who have worked inside government and regulatory agencies – giving us a better understanding of the approach and priorities of competition officials, policymakers and enforcers, and enhancing the value of the services we offer.
