Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins‘ Paris team remains a leading reference in the market for complex and strategic merger control cases at both French and EU level, with particularly in-depth experience in phase II clearances. In addition, the team is skilled in FDI and, increasingly, FSR filings. On the litigation front, the group features prominently in high-profile cartel and abuse of dominance investigations by the EC and FCA, as well as in related appeals before the national courts and in follow-on damages claims. Its impressive client roster includes French and international clients from the telecoms, cosmetics, food and beverages, automotive and media sectors. Jacques-Philippe Gunther, a renowned expert in merger control and antitrust investigations, leads the team with Adrien Giraud and Mathilde Saltiel, both of whom have exceptional records across the spectrum of EU and competition matters.
