Band 1

Micaela Diver is particularly sought after for her expertise in contentious competition law matters, such as multi-jurisdictional cartel follow-on damages litigation. She also advises on both subsidy control and state aid rules, as well as assisting clients with obtaining competition law clearance for proposed mergers. Based in Belfast, she has experience engaging with competition authorities in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Micaela Diver is stellar, she knows stuff inside-out.

Micaela has been through the process many times and can give common sense, practical advice. I think she's also good at understanding what the client's needs are.

She is proficient and efficient.
