Competition Law: Litigation - London (Firms)
What the Team is Known For
Linklaters stands out for its experience in major domestic merger control filings that attract considerable objection from competitors and intense scrutiny from the CMA. It works together with colleagues in Brussels and other offices to advise on obtaining clearance for global mergers. The team earns further praise for activity in high-profile follow-on damages claims and for the handling of UK-based private enforcement actions, including defending clients in class action proceedings. The law firm additionally assists clients who are subject to behavioural investigations and advises them on appeals against fines imposed by the CMA. Team members are also well reputed for advising on matters under the UK's new subsidy control regime.
