Competition law
Competition law specialists with extensive experience coordinating multi‑jurisdictional merger clearances and managing complex antitrust investigations.
We advise on the full range of EU and UK competition law issues, from regulatory clearance of transactions – covering merger control, national security/foreign investment control, and foreign subsidies regulation – to antitrust investigations, competition litigation, consumer protection, State aid and subsidy control, public procurement, and international trade law, to efficiently achieve clients' legal and business objectives while minimising their risk exposure.
As digital markets competition rules continue to develop across the EU and UK—including the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which has applied since early 2023, and the UK’s Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA)—clients increasingly require strategic and practical guidance. Our specialists are well placed to support businesses in navigating this complex digital regulatory landscape. We help organisations anticipate regulatory expectations, manage investigations, and build robust, adaptable compliance frameworks that evolve alongside the legal landscape.
