This area covers competition law as it applies to mergers and acquisitions in England, focusing on when a proposed deal may lessen competition and trigger intervention by regulators. A solicitor in this field analyzes the merger's market effects, drafts and negotiates remedies, liaises with the Competition and Markets Authority and, if needed, the Competition Appeal Tribunal, and represents clients in filings and potential proceedings. Practical work may include drafting phase I/II submissions, coordinating remedies discussions, and advising on timing and structure to comply with UK competition law.
