Baker McKenzie has an excellent reputation for representing prominent clients in dawn raids by the FCA and EC, and in many of the most complex and sensitive cartel investigations in France. The team is also well versed in complex merger control cases at both the national and European levels (often joining up with the firm’s international offices to obtain clearances for global deals), abuse of dominance investigations, follow-on damages claims, and compliance matters. Léna Sersiron, a highly sought-after advisor on high-stakes antitrust investigations and litigation, leads the practice. Olivia Chriqui-Guiot provides strong support, particularly in merger control and abuse of dominance cases.
