CRA's European Competition Practice specialises in providing economic advice to businesses on matters of competition policy and regulation.

We assist firms considering merger and acquisition opportunities, involved in merger control proceedings, and undergoing investigations on anti-competitive agreements or on abuse of dominance. We also provide advice to firms involved in regulatory proceedings, sector inquiries, and state aid issues. We offer assistance on the estimation of effects and damages in cartel cases, antitrust litigation, international arbitration and intellectual property disputes.

We have a reputation for rigorous and innovative economic analysis, careful attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively as part of a wider team of advisors. From Airtours to GE/Honeywell, Tetra/Sidel, Oracle/PeopleSoft, Ryanair/Aer Lingus and Microsoft, we have played a key role in many of the cases that have shaped European competition policy in recent years. We have also been involved in major cases before the competition authorities of the Member States, and in South Africa.

We have an expanding team and offices in London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and Munich; and work closely with our network of internationally-renowned academic associates. We have strong sectoral expertise in broadcasting, energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals and telecoms. In addition, access to the full range of CRA's competition, finance and industry experts worldwide means we are uniquely placed to provide individually-tailored analysis and expert advice.
