About

Provided by Brodies LLP

Our lawyers support clients with important and complex areas of competition law, combining our practical experience and regulatory insight with clients' understanding of their own markets to ensure compliance, secure clearances, address rule breaches and resolve disputes. We work collaboratively with our clients to help them comply with competition law in ways that focus on and facilitate their commercial aims. 

We advise on EU and UK competition law in areas including cartels and other potentially anti-competitive arrangements, the abuse of dominant market positions, cartel damages actions and market investigations. 

We have an excellent track record of obtaining deal-critical merger clearances for M&A projects, and are also experienced in handling business critical matters such as dawn raids and internal investigations.

We support both public and private sector clients with procurement and State aid matters, in contentious and non-contentious situations.
