Chambers Global Guide

Competition Law - UK

New Silks
Individual Editorial

David Bailey is a highly sought-after junior who acts as standing counsel to the CMA and has noteworthy experience defending CMA decisions in appeals heard by the CAT. Bailey often acts on both the defendant and claimant sides of UK private enforcement actions, including high-profile collective actions. He is involved in many of the most high-profile competition cases.

Strengths

David has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things competition law. He's a quick thinker and strategic - an all-round great person to have on the team.

David combines knowledge of competition law with formidable technical abilities and a collaborative, commercial approach. He's someone you want on your side.

He is the best junior barrister that we are currently working with, an absolute star. He is the man you want on big-ticket, high-stakes litigation.

His cross-examination is really forensic and tight. He's very tough but also really quite likeable; it's almost like he's picking pockets.

He's just fantastic - a new category needs to be created for him. He wrote the book on competition.
