Philip Lee LLP has a history in the public procurement and state aid fields, thanks to its background as a public sector-oriented firm. Having developed its private sector focus, it has built a much stronger focus on broader EU and competition matters, including merger control where it now works alongside a number of international firms on cross-border transactions. The EU and competition team has deep experience in the automotive, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and broadcasting and communications sectors. Ronan Dunne is an authority on state aid matters, merger control and wider competition issues. Founding partner Philip Lee and Kerri Crossen provide additional public competition and procurement experience.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The expertise of the Philip Lee team is genuinely exceptional, but yet more impressive is their ability to communicate and explain these issues to non-lawyers, and their profound understanding of the commercial and strategic, as well as legal issues at play.’
‘Ronan Dunne is the partner with whom we work most closely and have developed a high trust relationship over a number of years and important cases. He is always responsive and wears his expertise lightly. Ronan has developed a deep understanding of our organisation's commercial and strategic objectives - and offers counsel and guidance on how legal arguments and litigation can assist us in achieving them. While obviously an external resource, he is most definitely on our team.’
‘Philip Lee has many specialists with knowledge in EU-compliant public procurement, so they are not dependent on a single partner or associate. They are responsive and willing to find good fee solutions such as fixed fee for an agreed scope of work.’
‘Great breadth of experience on the team, great industry knowledge and always up to date, great breadth of clients in the media industry.’
‘Ronan Dunne is very knowledgeable and provides up-to-date tried and tested practical advice on complex and detailed areas of law. Daniel Hanrahan is a strong asset to this team.’
