Economics advice for competition policy
We provide advice on economics issues for competition policy.
- We can help companies or consumer bodies in requesting, or responding to, competition inquiries by Government bodies.
- We can help governments or companies in taking forward, or reacting to, competition policy proposals or ideas.
- We can help regulators or companies in using competition analysis in economic regulation debates.
- We can help investors to navigate through the UK and EC competition and regulatory policy maze.
These areas are set out in more detail below.

Competition law inquiries
We can advise on inquiries into alleged breaches of competition law or State aid rules. We can work for Government bodies, companies subject to an inquiry, or complainants.
Merger control
We can help companies seeking to merge, or opponents of proposed mergers or joint ventures, to put their case to the relevant regulators.
Economic regulation and market investigations
We are familiar with economic regulation processes in the UK. We know about the way in which administrative authorities — e.g. the Competition Commission or sector regulators — sometimes become responsible for competition policy decisions, and how they approach these tasks.
Guidance for investors
In all the areas above, we can explain regulation and competition policy issues, processes and prospects to investors in affected companies, and to those considering future investments.
