The ‘significant' and 'well regarded’ antitrust and competition law team at Jones Day combines expertise in international merger clearances, antitrust investigations, and related litigation, leveraging the firm’s global reach to support clients in multi-jurisdictional matters. Its State aid offering is particularly noted, along with regulatory work in foreign direct investment and new foreign subsidies regulation. Bernard Amory leads the team, within which Geoffroy Van De Walle was promoted to partner in January 2024, a go-to for abuse of dominance matters. Kaarli Eichhorn is sought after for high-profile, often politically sensitive, merger and antitrust matters.
