BCLP Contributes to Legal 500 Competition Litigation Comparative Guide

Partners Ed Coulson, Andrew Leitch and other BCLP lawyers contribute to Legal 500’s Competition Litigation Comparative Guide with a chapter on the United Kingdom and a ‘hot topic’ article.

BCLP’s London Competition Litigation Team provide a practical overview of the law, practice, and procedures relevant to competition litigation in the UK, with a particular focus on litigating competition damages claims in relation to alleged anti-competitive agreements and the abuse of a dominant position in a market. In addition, the team provides insight and opinion on current trends and developments in this area, including the continued growth of ‘collective actions’ brought on behalf of a class and how the recently enacted UK Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 may impact private enforcement.

Furthermore, the team has authored a ‘hot topic’ article discussing recent developments concerning expert evidence in competition litigation. The article discusses the pivotal role of experts in competition claims, addresses key developments in this important area, and considers how the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), the specialist tribunal for competition claims, might seek to build on learnings from recent cases and promote best practice.

The Competition Litigation Comparative Guide aims to provide its readers with a pragmatic overview of the law and practice of competition litigation across a variety of jurisdictions. This chapter was first published in Competition Litigation – Country Comparative Guides.

BCLP’s London Competition Litigation Team is led by Ed Coulson advising on leading cartel damages actions, abuse of dominance claims, and other competition and regulatory disputes, regularly involving group claims.
