Competition Law - UK
Individual Editorial
Rob Williams KC remains a favourite of the CMA for difficult appeals against decisions in merger control and abuse of dominance matters. He has also represented defendant companies in large damages claims resulting from cartels and abuse of dominance.
Strengths
I think very highly of him. He is very attentive to the case and you feel he's on your side. He will deliver the best outcomes possible.
Rob is really excellent. He has an outstanding ability to see to the heart of an issue and where the CAT will go, and to process work and information at an incredible rate.
Rob is extremely user-friendly and draws on his vast experience from working for companies and the regulator to give a rounded perspective.
Rob brings amazing value as a competition and regulatory silk because he is willing to get into the detail. The combination of his work ethic and talent means that you end up with the best argument.
In all respects he demonstrates great knowledge of competition law, but he is also whip-smart across the board. Beyond all else, he's approachable and strategic - a must-have for any competition team.
