Position
Nicola Chesaites is a partner in Willkie’s Litigation and Antitrust & Competition practices in London. Nicola has extensive experience of competition damages litigation before UK courts, having represented claimants and defendants before the English High Court and the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal, including applications for collective proceedings orders under the UK’s new competition class-action regime. Nicola also has significant experience in challenging and defending EU institutions in EU law matters, having represented clients in EU banking, trade, sanctions, customs, pharmaceutical, transport and competition law disputes. She has appeared before the EU General Court and Court of Justice in Luxembourg in over 25 cases, and represented the EU in many disputes.
