Global law firm White & Case LLP has announced the expansion of its Global Antitrust Practice with the addition of Euan Burrows as a partner in London.
“Growth in our disputes capabilities is a strategic priority for the Firm, and having Euan Burrow, a highly respected antitrust litigator, join us in London will further bolster our market-leading Global Antitrust Practice and our EMEA disputes capabilities,” said White & Case Chair, Heather McDevitt. “Our clients are increasingly requiring dedicated antitrust litigation expertise in London, particularly in follow-on cases arising from antitrust investigations, and Euan has the ideal experience and skill set to advise on such matters.”
Euan Burrows brings extensive experience advising on competition law, state aid, and procurement law, including interactions with the European Commission, the UK Competition and Markets Authority, and proceedings before the High Court in England. His expertise covers competition law investigations, litigation, regulatory challenges, judicial reviews, and more. He joins White & Case from Ashurst, where he was a partner and global head of the antitrust, regulation, and trade team.
“We expect a continued high volume of competition cases in the UK as a result of the increasingly litigious UK environment for antitrust through the Competition Appeal Tribunal and the increase in antitrust and consumer regulation across the digital, financial services, and manufacturing sectors,” said White & Case partner Mark Gidley, who co-leads the Firm’s Global Antitrust Practice with Rebecca Farrington. “Euan is a widely respected lawyer who will work closely with existing London antitrust partners Marc Israel, Michael Engel, Charles Balmain, and Raif Hassan – as well as our market-leading teams in Brussels, Paris, Germany and globally – to help clients respond to the wide range of antitrust litigation, investigations, and other competition law matters they may face.”
White & Case recently represented Autoliv Inc., securing the dismissal of a €770 million cartel damages claim in the Competition Appeal Tribunal related to the Stellantis Group. This case, notable for proceeding to trial in the UK, initially included several defendants who settled, leaving Autoliv to see it to trial.
Burrows’ appointment follows several significant lateral partner hires in London, including intellectual property litigation partners David Stone, Karla Hughes, and Adrian Dykes, mergers and acquisitions partner Richard Browne, intellectual property partners Dan Reavill and Michael Evans, investment funds partner Alexandra Chauvin, and debt finance partner Emma Russell.
