Individual Editorial
Robert O'Donoghue KC attracts considerable attention for advising claimants and defendants on standalone and collective action proceedings following cartel investigations, particularly in relation to abuse of dominance. He also regularly advises clients on challenges to CMA decisions, often involving the pharmaceutical sector.
Strengths
He's a persuasive and fun barrister to work with and not afraid to take his clients case to the furthest extent possible. He is very tenacious.
Robert O'Donoghue combines strong courtroom performance with a high degree of technical skill, particularly in abuse of dominance.
Robert is clearly one of the best competition silks at the Bar and I would not hesitate to use him in any dispute of this nature, whether on the claimant or the defendant side.
He has an excellent track record, particularly in challenging decisions of the CMA, with real expertise in Chapter II/Article 102.
He is the supreme being of abuse of dominance; there is no one who knows more about it than he does.
