Found in: Talent UK C2 - 1 week ago
Role Summary
The team is widely regarded as the leading practice in the market, active in more of the major competition litigation cases than any other firm, and we have the largest dedicated antitrust litigation team in London. We act on the highest profile, and most cutting edge, antitrust litigation matters in the UK including Mastercard’s defence against a £14bn class action in relation to multilateral interchange fees, and Volvo’s global defence of damages litigation arising out of the EU’s trucks cartel decision. The team has been described as a ‘jewel in the crown’ of Freshfields’ global dispute resolution practice, and is at the heart of the firm’s global antitrust litigation group.
In addition to working on competition litigation and investigation matters, the successful candidate would have the opportunity to work with the firm’s wider global investigations and class action practice. The team also undertakes EU and UK domestic public law and related regulatory litigation (including Brexit-related work), human rights cases, as well as broader commercial litigation and competition advisory work.
