Our team has many years of experience acting as monitoring trustee, working with competition authorities, other agencies, and businesses in a wide range of sectors, in the UK and internationally. We deliver practical and workable solutions in a pragmatic and efficient manner.

We act on merger cases and market investigations in the EU, the UK and other jurisdictions, including on cases with the European Commission (EC) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). We also act as supervisor on Takeover Panel cases.

  • Divestment remedies
  • Long-term behavioural undertakings
  • Interim measures including CMA initial enforcement orders (IEO)
  • Complex carve-outs and asset disposals
  • Extensive ring-fencing and hold-separate arrangements
