Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Davies' competition and antitrust practice is our go-to advisor for buyside M&A transactions, particularly around competition act clearance. They are able to leverage prior working experience with our firm to clearly layout our investment holdings in the relevant regulatory filings with minimal oversight from our deal team, which frees up our time on other tasks. 100% of our past competition filings have resulted in favourable outcomes from the competition bureau.’

  • ‘Charles Tingley at Davies is an outstanding competition lawyer who has always been able to find practical and effective solutions when it comes to competition-related matters. We always look to him for his sound advice in navigating through regulatory matters on our transactions.’
