Your Strategic Partner
1
Competition Law
We advise on the full range of competition law issues, including competition law litigation and the application of the competition rules to agreements such as distribution, supply, reseller, exclusivity, and cooperation agreements.
Additionally, we support in relation to competition investigations (CMA/EC), regulatory engagement, and compliance risk. The focus is on clear, practical advice grounded in how competition law is enforced in practice, not in theory.
2
Merger Control
We provide strategic and procedural advice on UK and EU merger control, from early-stage risk assessment through to notification, review, and engagement with competition authorities.
We advise on jurisdictional issues, substantive competition concerns, information requests, remedies, and transaction planning. Support can be provided to businesses directly or to law firms requiring specialist merger control input on a flexible basis.
3
Subsidy Control & Public Procurement
We advise on competition and regulatory issues arising in the context of public procurement and the application of the subsidy control rules, including challenges to procurement/subsidy decisions.
This includes advising suppliers and contracting authorities on compliance with competition law and procurement rules, as well as supporting contentious procurement disputes where competition law principles are engaged.
4
UK National Security and Investment Act
We advise on national security and investment issues arising under the UK National Security and Investment Act 2021, including mandatory and voluntary notification requirements and the assessment of call-in risk.
This includes advising acquirers, investors, and target businesses on NSIA compliance, transaction structuring, and engagement with the Investment Security Unit, as well as supporting transactions and disputes where NSIA considerations intersect with competition and regulatory issues.
