Antitrust & competition

Leading companies are faced with negotiating a myriad of antitrust /competition issues that can affect business performance. We translate legal complexities and empower our clients to maximise their organisation’s competitive advantage.

We are a truly international group of lawyers who deliver practical legal solutions to transactional, advisory and contentious matters. We provide local, regional and global insights for our clients, always mindful of the implications that antitrust/competition issues may have on their business. Few other law firms, if any, can boast a fully integrated international competition practice that has successfully argued before all the major competition authorities and courts in Europe, Russia, Asia and the US.

We are at the cutting edge of developments in antitrust competition laws in established markets. We also participate in the development of antitrust/competition laws in emerging markets.

We share this valuable insight with our clients. Our team includes the former General Counsels of both the US Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission, Bill Blumenthal and Michel Petite, who have unique perspectives on the policies and procedures of both agencies at the highest level.

As antitrust /competition legislation is being implemented in the new economic powerhouses of China and India, we have a leading voice in the debate. This allows us to anticipate tomorrow’s antitrust /competition issues for our clients and to build lasting relationships.

Complex antitrust /competition issues often demand industry focused insight. Clients benefit from tailored advice from our experts in a wide range of sectors. Our lawyers are known for their innovative approach when representing clients, often on high profile cases. Frequently, the sensitive matters on which we advise are successfully resolved away from the headllnes.
