Our specialist team provides comprehensive support for UK and international clients in all aspects of competition law.

This encompasses both contentious and non-contentious matters, as well as complex transactions.

Clients turn to us to help them:

  • Understand and mitigate competition law risk in their business.
  • Defend against allegations of anti-competitive conduct.
  • Challenge anti-competitive behaviour by third parties.
  • Identify transactions subject to merger control and/or foreign direct investment review and shepherd them through the filing and clearance process.

We have extensive experience advising clients in a wide range of sectors and are committed to delivering top-quality, pragmatic, and commercially sound advice.

The team’s areas of expertise include:

  • Merger control.
  • Foreign direct investment rules, including the UK’s National Security & Investment regime.
  • Competition law investigations by the CMA and the UK’s sectoral regulators.
  • Competition litigation.
  • Distribution and other commercial agreements.
  • Compliance audits and training.
  • Subsidy control.

We maintain relationships with competition counsel at leading law firms worldwide to support our clients’ international needs.
