Competition Litigation

We have extensive experience in appeals against decisions of competition and regulatory authorities. We act in competition litigation before English and other national courts, the Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice.

We are at the cutting edge of the current increase in private actions based on competition law and have acted in ground-breaking competition litigation before the English and European Courts, as well as coordinating cross-border antitrust litigation strategies.

Complex litigation of this kind requires first class litigation and dispute resolution skills as well as leading-edge competition law and economics expertise. We have built a new team of cross-disciplinary specialists comprising lawyers from our Competition and Dispute Resolution groups to spearhead this work.

Working with lawyers from our Intellectual Property group, we have recently also played an innovative role in developing competition law defences to patent infringement actions in the UK Courts.
