The new office will be led by antitrust and competition lawyer Peter Crowther. Its focus is on European Union merger control, international and national cartels, state aid, trade/sanctions, free movement and all other aspects of EU competition law, the firm said in a statement. Mr Crowther joined Winston & Strawn’s London office as partner in 2012.
Managing partner Thomas Fitzgerald commented: ‘Brussels not only extends the firm’s footprint in Europe, but the location puts Winston & Strawn at the forefront of European competition law developments and will add to our already strong global antitrust and competition practice,’
