Competition and Regulation

Delivering complex advice in a logical format

At Addleshaw Goddard, we find out how a business works, identifying the competition law risks and understanding the commercial context in which they arise, to provide clear recommendations on how our clients can mitigate any exposure.

We have a strong team of experienced Partners who offer clients pragmatic insight and strategic guidance on all cases. The Partners are supported by a comprehensive team of Associates and Paralegals who assist on data intensive investigations. We help our clients to understand commercial impacts, as well as changing internal processes and procedures, in order to manage compliance risks. Our objective is to leave a business more fit for purpose.

Core Areas of Focus:

Our ability to deliver value is reflected in our client feedback, the standard of our work, and the quality and breadth of our client list, which includes a substantial number of FTSE 100 and 250 organisations. We have assisted clients on a large number of the Competition and Markets Authority's recent market investigations, have an enviable track record in antitrust investigations, merger clearances and competition litigation, and handle state aid/subsidy control and procurement matters as an integral part of the client's underlying commercial or financial transactions.
