Competition / antitrust litigation

“A strong presence in competition litigation…”
Chambers UK 2011

Across the world, competition disputes have increased significantly in recent years. In Australia and Canada, class actions in respect of competition law infringements are well established.  In Europe, record breaking fines imposed by the European Commission and national competition authorities are one reason for the surge in appeals against infringement decisions, while “follow on” claims for damages and stand-alone competition actions have been actively encouraged by the competition authorities.

Your business needs a global legal team that can unite competition and regulatory expertise with robust and commercially-focused litigation skills. Our track record of advising on complex, high value and sensitive competition cases is extensive. We regularly appear before the Courts in Canada, Australia, South Africa, London, Paris, Italy and the Netherlands, as well as in the specialist Competition Appeal Tribunal in London, the European Courts in Luxembourg, the Competition Tribunal in Canada and in international arbitrations. You will benefit from our close co-operation with economists and other legal counsel.

At all times, our aim is to enable you to achieve your strategic commercial goals. We adopt a proactive approach to ensure that the right tactics are deployed to their best advantage throughout your dispute.  And we are particularly well placed to offer a joined-up approach to any competition litigation wherever it takes place across the world.

We offer you:

• Comprehensive knowledge of the strategy and tactics that work best in competition disputes.
• A combined service bringing together competition law knowledge and litigation skills in the same team.
• Strong and experienced competition litigators across the world.
