Our Antitrust, Competition and Regulatory group has established a leading reputation in European and Asia Pacific jurisdictions. Our practice is at the cutting edge of developing antitrust, competition and regulatory work.

We are one of the few major international legal practices to combine a substantial merger control practice with a significant non-transactional competition practice, including a specialised cartel investigation team. The group also has experience in a wide range of industry sectors.

We offer a complete antitrust, competition and regulatory service, including:

  • Cartel investigations
  • Market investigations
  • Competition litigation
  • Rules on anti-competitive agreements, cartels and abuse of dominance
  • State aid
  • Public procurement
  • Mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures
  • Utilities and sector regulation
  • WTO and international trade

We 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, and in Australia.

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.
