Matt Evans is particularly active in CMA merger control and foreign direct investment investigations. He also has experience acting for third-party intervenors on merger reviews.

He is just a superb lawyer all around.

He gave technical advice but relayed it in a user-friendly format which was useful to circulate internally.

From what I could see, Matt Evans handled a complex matter excellently.
