Travers Smith LLP’s competition litigation team continues to act on some of the UK’s most high-profile and legally significant mandates. The group is active across a broad range of sectors, including financial services, automotive, construction, shipping, technology and consumer goods and is particularly noted for its strength in crossover regulatory-litigation matters and its deep familiarity with the pan-European cartel and dominance enforcement landscape. Nigel Seay and Caroline Edwards co-chair the team; Seay brings experience in precedent-setting competition litigation decisions, while Edwards is widely recognised for her work on complex, large-scale claims involving thousands of claimants.
