Competition law
Cartel and abuse claims, brought in the tribunal that was built for them.
Competition damages remain the most developed collective regime in Europe. The Competition Appeal Tribunal now certifies opt-out classes numbering in the millions, and the economics of pass-on and overcharge have been tested repeatedly on appeal.
We act for merchants, businesses and consumers in follow-on claims after a regulatory finding, and in standalone claims where none exists. Quantum is built with economists from the first week, not the first hearing.
