Competition Law - UK
Individual Editorial
Stephen Smith has a broad competition law practice encompassing subsidy control issues, appeals against authority decisions and merger control filings. He also has experience in matters involving the National Security and Investment Act and in abuse of dominance complaints.
Strengths
He provides advice that is measured while understanding our business.
I think he is clearly very experienced in his area of specialism. He particularly brings a good understanding of client imperatives and what they are trying to achieve.
Stephen Smith provides thoughtful and clear advice, helping to break down complex matters and presenting them in a way that is practical and clear.
Stephen Smith leads the competition law aspect of our work and has done so for many years, both skilfully and valuably.
He is very clear in an area that is vague; he cuts through it.
