Competition Law

Led by Andrew Maxwell, our dedicated and expert Competition Team is experienced in guiding clients through every step of a Competition Law investigation.

This ranges from responding to the initial Dawn Raid, to crafting leniency applications and preparing responses to information requests and statements of objections.

Our team can also support you in resolving disputes involving Competition Law. Our lawyers also act for clients involved in cartel and competition damages actions, including follow-on and stand-alone Competition Litigation.

We advise and train a myriad of major corporates across a wide variety of industry sectors on Competition Compliance and Dawn Raid policies.

Freeths can also conduct Mock Dawn Raids and Competition Audits for clients.
