Antitrust, Competition and Trade

Partner

Martin helps clients manage their strategy in relation to competition law issues and covers all aspects of EU and UK competition law, including merger control, antitrust, market reviews and State aid.

He has acted in a wide range of cases in front of the European Commission and the UK competition and sectoral regulators.

Martin works across all sectors, but has particular expertise in the TMT and financial sectors. In these fast-moving sectors, the application of competition law presents particular challenges, and Martin’s understanding of his clients’ business is central to achieving results for them.

Much of his work is multinational in nature – including cross-border mergers, pan-European investigations and counselling clients on their global antitrust strategy. Many of his cases involve managing a team of lawyers across multiple jurisdictions.

Martin also leads our international trade law practice, and counsels private and public sector clients on a wide range of trade law issues, including tariffs and international trade treaties.
