Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton is regarded by clients as ‘the gold standard in European competition law practices’. The firm is equally well regarded for its global merger control work and for its litigious strengths, which span multijurisdictional follow-on damages claims and cartel investigations before the European Commission, as well as non-cartel conduct cases. The ’broad and deep practice’ has specialists with expertise spanning the gamut of relevant advisory and contentious mandates, including Christopher Cook, François-Charles Laprévote and Robbert Snelders. Antoine Winckler is particularly recommended for his knowledge of French competition law, while Nicholas Levy is regularly instructed on matters involving UK antitrust elements.

‘The EU and global practice of Cleary Gottlieb is the gold standard in European competition law practices. For me, they have the best lawyers, work the hardest and are the most result-oriented of all of the practices to choose from.’
‘You cannot do any better than Enrique González-Díaz. He knows the law better than the regulators, knows technologies and products, and is, in my opinion, the most articulate and persuasive lawyer in the entire EU.’
