Euclid Law

Partner

Becket advises clients on all aspects of EU and UK competition law, with an emphasis on defending companies against investigations, distribution issues and merger control. He is qualified in England & Wales and Belgium. Although he advises clients in a broad range of sectors, he has a particular interest in the media, technology and life sciences sectors.

He was one of the founding partners of US firm Cooley’s London office in 2015 and established Cooley’s Brussels office in 2019. Becket has a long-standing focus on the media, technology and life sciences sectors, having previously headed up the competition enforcement branch responsible for these sectors at the Office of Fair Trading. He is a leading expert on distribution issues raised by e-commerce and has advised a number of major online retailers, marketplaces and brands on a wide range of strategic competition issues. Becket is a member of the prestigious competition law committee of the City of London Law Society

Given Becket’s experience and market profile, the fact that he is not currently listed in the directory’s list of leading individuals is a notable omission.
