Welcome.

I specialise in advising companies on merger investigations by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, often in partnership with other leading advisers.

In particular:

    • I help companies and investors better assess merger control risks
    • I use economics to help companies make the best competition case they can
    • I regularly coach executives in preparation for investigation hearings

    • Close involvement in hundreds of UK merger investigations
    • A unique UK merger database to guide effective case-making

I also:
