Well-regarded for its ‘encyclopaedic knowledge’, the ’indefatigable’ team at Clifford Chance LLP is capable across the full gamut of merger control filings and antitrust investigations. Technology sector expertise is a defining characteristic of the practice group, advising some of the world’s leading tech and ecommerce companies on critical transactions. The team is led by the ‘extremely talented’ Nelson Jung, who stands out for his focus on the technology, pharmaceutical and retail sectors, working with clients on both behavioural and merger control matters. Jung regularly works with Stavroula Vryna, who boasts extensive experience of leading antitrust investigations and multijurisdictional merger control matters. Alex Nourry, who moved into a consultant position in 2024, continues to assist the team on all aspects of EU and UK competition law. The team has been bolstered by the arrival of Michael Grenfell, who previously served as the executive director of enforcement at the CMA. Former practice head Greg Olsen has retired.
