Monitoring trustee services

Expert, pragmatic and independent advice from an experienced monitoring trustee team is essential when dealing with competition authorities and complying with conditions they may impose.

Competition authorities such as the European Commission and the Competition and Markets Authority sometimes rule that a monitoring trustee be appointed to ensure that a business complies with its obligations. Whether this is as part of a merger clearance or a market investigation, the process can be costly and time consuming.

Reducing the burden this can impose on a business requires a monitoring trustee with the experience to understand the market and how the regulator works, the breadth of knowledge to keep costs down and the commercial know-how to get the job done with minimal disruption.

Our specialist monitoring trustee team has the experience to support you.
