Deep expertise and understanding
Our pedigree in responding to cartel investigations and prosecutions stretches from ground-breaking EU cartel cases such as Sugar, Polypropylene and Cartonboard, to assisting clients in the current swathe of financial product and benchmark investigations and prosecutions around the world.
Our European team has acted on the largest and most complex matters in the market. We advise clients across sectors including pharmaceutical, financial services, transport, utilities and energy. We represent clients before the CMA, European Commission and national authorities across Europe.
Our Australian practice advises on some of the most complex, internationally significant matters in this space. We act on cross-jurisdictional cartel matters for clients in industries including financial services, mining and natural resources, transport, utilities and energy, and are recognised by leading directories for our expertise in this area of competition law.
Our team has also assisted immunity applicants across global cartels, and worked successfully with clients to minimise follow-on litigation and class action liability. We have assisted executives personally, and advised boards on responding to whistle-blowers and investigations. This breadth of experience informs our work with clients in this increasingly criminal area of corporate conduct.
