Competition Law - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Blackstone barristers act across an impressive range of competition matters. Benefiting from a strong background in public law, the set is a superb choice for applications for judicial review of the CMA and other UK regulators' decisions. Members, praised for their ability to "distil complex analysis into an easily digestible format," often act in leading cases in the technology and financial services sectors, including litigation relating to standard-essential patents, alleged market manipulation and abuse of dominance. They have been instructed in the largest follow-on damages actions in both UK and EU courts, including those concerning interchange fees. They also feature prominently in novel collective action cases.
