Acting for an impressive roster of French and international clients, particularly in the technology and banking sectors, White & Case LLP handles a high volume of complex competition mandates. The team has in-depth expertise in high-stakes antitrust cases, representing clients in investigations by the FCA and EC, as well as subsequent litigation, and also has a strong merger control offering, often working alongside the firm’s international offices on large multi-jurisdictional transactions. State aid and distribution law are also areas of strength. Practice head Yann Utzschneider is a well-regarded name for antitrust and distribution litigation. Jérémie Marthan has a broad competition practice which includes advising on FSR matters, and Anouk Clamens, who was promoted to partner in January 2024, has a strong focus on litigation. The deep bench also includes Mickaël Rivollier, Alexandre Martin and Rahel Wendebourg. Costanza Mussi left the firm after publication.
