Competition and Cartel Investigations
Companies need to be alive to the possibility of investigations and fines for anti-competitive behaviour. We defend our clients in cartel and other regulatory investigations. We defend their interests in subsequent or stand-alone court proceedings. We approach investigations and dawn raids with acuity, considering the best options to meet our clients’ objectives – whether through a strong defence or other means, including settlement and leniency applications. We have substantial recent experience of CMA and European Commission investigations for main parties. We also act for interested third parties.
We work with our own in-house CMS Evidence team of forensic experts using the market-leading software, Brainspace. This expertise, combined with our UK competition bench strength across London, Edinburgh and Brussels, complemented by our wider international competition teams, allows us to manage large-scale document reviews efficiently and effectively.
