Antitrust/Competition Lawyer role in leading US law firm in London

Your new company
One of the world's leading US law firms is looking for an Associate Solicitor to join its Antitrust practice in London. The firm's Antitrust team includes some of the most highly regarded Lawyers in their field, including former senior officials from the US Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice and the European Commission's DG for Competition, as well as Lawyers who have worked in European Courts. The firm's expertise in this area of law is unrivalled and they are regularly recognised as market leaders in Chambers Global, Chambers USA, and other legal directories.

Your new role
This exceptional, market leading US law firm is looking for a Competition Lawyer, either UK or EU qualified with between 2 and 4 years' post qualification experience in a broad range of antitrust matters. The firm's Antitrust team has a truly global approach, advising clients in the United States as well as Europe and the UK. You will advise clients on pre-merger notifications and substantive defence of transactions, every type and stage of government investigation, including cartels, a wide range of civil and criminal antitrust litigation, state aid awards, provide general counselling and advise on antitrust audits and compliance programs.

What you'll need to succeed
Candidates will need to be interested in all areas of antitrust law and have gained experience in EU and UK merger control, cartel investigations, abuse of dominance cases and competition litigation. You will need to be able to act as a lead Associate on matters, working directly for Partners and Counsel whilst also managing juniors in the practice team. This position would be suitable for Lawyers from a magic circle law firm or other international law firms with a leading Antitrust/Competition practice. Excellent academics from a leading university institution are essential.

What you'll get in return
This is a great opportunity for skilled and talented Lawyers to join an excellent US law firm. You will join a practice where you will be instructed on high value and high profile matters, advising sophisticated clients in a challenging, supportive and collaborative environment. The law firm remunerates its lawyers competitively with an excellent salary and benefits package. This is a great opportunity for Lawyers who want to work with leading Partners in their field, those that seek early exposure and responsibility to manage high quality assignments and client relationships, and for those that thrive under pressure.
