I am a member of Bird & Bird's Competition & EU Law practice group. The group, with 17 partners and 40+ other lawyers across Europe, is particularly well known and respected for its work in the interface between competition and IP, in sectors being transformed by technology and/or regulation such as communications, life sciences, automotive, energy and aviation, and in private enforcement.I provide no-nonsense advice on the application of competition, regulatory and general EU rules, particularly in heavily regulated sectors such as energy, aviation and technology. Legal directory Chambers and Partners reports that clients value me for my "straight talking" and "well-informed advice," and add that I am "ahead of the curve in anticipating changes."Specialties: I advise on a very wide range of competition and regulatory issues - from cartels to state aid. Particular areas of activity at the moment are EU energy market integration and regulation, including the EU Network Codes and the Clean Energy Package, renewables integration and REMIT, the competition/IP interface, in particular in relation to standard-essential patents, and competition litigation, including both stand-alone and follow-on damages claims, for both claimants and defendants.
