Competition & EC Law
"Clients are effusive in their praise for this firm's competition team"
- Chambers UK, 2008
TLT has gained a leading reputation in this critical field. Legal journal 'The Lawyer' described our team as "…competing with Freshfields and Slaughters for the cream of European competition work". We work closely with our clients to provide jargon-free strategic commercial advice of City quality, but at a regional price.
Complying with this increasingly complex area of law is vital - punishments for getting it wrong range from fines to the disqualification of directors (even where they were not involved). Deliberate anticompetitive behaviour may result in a prison sentence.
Chambers UK 2009 confirms that our "highly competent team" offers swift and accurate competition law advice. We work with many clients, including a number of household names, providing a range of services which include helping to obtain UK or European merger control clearance, ensuring that day-to-day commercial arrangements comply with competition law, providing compliance training to front line employees and defending against cartel and behavioural investigations. We also help with state aid, public procurement and market investigations.
