As one of the first major U.S. firms to establish a presence in Europe over 75 years ago, we provide clients the benefit of long-established, leading competition and litigation practices across the United Kingdom and Europe, with deep local experience in each of the jurisdictions where we have offices.

Consistent success in landmark cases. We regularly represent clients before EU and national courts on the full range of EU and national competition issues, including stand-alone and follow-on damages actions, collective proceedings and representative actions, and appeals against European Commission and national regulatory decisions. Several of these cases have resulted in landmark judgments at EU and national level.

An integrated, global outlook. Our integrated practice encompasses competition litigation matters that arise in multiple jurisdictions, where we leverage best-in-class teams from our leading global antitrust and litigation practices.

Deep experience and creative strategies. With an unparalleled depth of internationally-ranked antitrust and litigation lawyers – including colleagues who have worked at the European Courts, and former senior officials from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority – we develop proactive strategies, with a global, results-driven outlook.
