Competition & Regulation

We have extensive experience of disputes involving competition and regulation issues. We bring the same analytical rigour to these types of disputes as we do to commercial litigation and international arbitration.
 
In competition cases, our work is typically – but not exclusively – in the area of loss analysis: whether arising from price fixing, abuse of dominant position or other anti-competitive behaviour. We combine sophisticated economics, econometrics and financial analysis with our ability to work with very large and complex datasets (for example, billions of transaction-level company records or years of chatroom information).
 
Our regulatory experience covers retail price-setting, wholesale access charges, incentive mechanism design, cost efficiency, cost of capital and financial resilience. We have worked for industry regulators, incumbents and new entrants, in the oil and gas, electricity, mail, media, telecoms, rail and water industries, as well as in financial services. Additionally, we have given expert evidence on regulatory issues in a series of high profile, investor-state arbitrations related to renewable energy investments.
