Expertise & Experience

In this section

A worldwide team of antitrust litigation specialists who deal with a variety of complex and high-profile antitrust litigation cases.

Clifford Chance has a leading antitrust litigation practice which advises on antitrust investigations and represents both claimant and defendant companies in high profile cases before the UK, US and European courts. We are experienced in managing multi-jurisdictional investigations and follow-on or standalone antitrust litigation, with extensive experience of taking cases to trial and winning.

The team includes experts on collective/class actions, fraud, white collar crime and cross-border regulatory investigations and represents clients across a wide range of industries. Our U.S. antitrust litigation team is trial-ready, delivering victories against the DOJ, FTC, and private plaintiffs in some of the highest-profile cases of the last decade. With a deep bench of first-chair trial lawyers—including former senior enforcers from the DOJ and FTC—we win where it matters most: in the courtroom.

We have acted on many of the leading cartel damages claims, regularly advise on abuse of dominance claims (for both claimants and defendants), and on collective/class actions arising from alleged antitrust infringements.
