Criminal Cartels
Competition Law in the United Kingdom and European Union has undergone recent and significant reform. The Enterprise Act 2002 has created a “cartel offence” for individuals, introduced draconian criminal sanctions and penalties and substantially enhanced the powers of investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and Office of Fair Trading.
Our expertise in commercial and corporate crime enables us to advise and represent multi-national companies and individual clients from the initial advisory stage to trial or appeal.
We have established a Rapid Response Advisory Team to provide immediate and effective advice to professional and lay clients on a range of issues including, no-action letters, leniency, the legality and operational ambit of search warrants, compulsory interviews and disclosure, and director disqualification.
In the last year we have made a series of presentations to leading City solicitors on this topic.
