Antitrust Investigations

Our cradle to grave offering

With our global footprint and on-the-ground experience in multiple jurisdictions our Antitrust & Foreign Investment team support clients through the broad spectrum of challenges that arise before, during and after an investigation into behavioural conduct issues.

We collaborate across practices, including Dispute Resolution, TMT/IP and Financial Regulatory to provide a holistic approach to supporting clients, from designing and implementing effective compliance policies, swiftly reacting to dawn raids, helping you respond to the investigation and advising you on related litigation (appeals and private enforcement). Whether it's a cartel, an abuse of dominance, a market investigation or a complex vertical investigation, Linklaters can guide your strategy of engagement with competition authorities and private litigants across the lifecycle of an investigation.

Our senior lawyers have excellent access to decision-makers where it matters. Our strong links with regulators are reinforced through the recruitment of former officials and longstanding relationships with the many Linklaters alumni who joined agencies. Many of our lawyers regularly advise agencies within the International Competition Network and other non-governmental bodies on policies and legislation.

Manage risk

With increased regulatory pressure and a greater need to demonstrate individual and corporate compliance within your organisation, we help you design bespoke compliance programmes that address the risks that your business faces. With greater focus on individual responsibility and increasing availability of discounts for effective compliance policies it is more important than ever to get your compliance offering right.

Our Competition eLearning course can play a vital role in delivering competition risk management training to help identify problems and instil a culture of compliance.
