Announcements — 25/11/2024

Geradin Partners is very pleased to announce that Patrick Teague is joining its fast-growing UK competition practice as a partner

 Patrick Teague is a competition, litigation and investigations lawyer with over a decade of experience, having worked in the Antitrust Litigation team at Freshfields and in the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s Legal Service. He has extensive experience in competition-related regulatory investigations and follow-on litigation, having acted for clients in the financial services, telecommunications, broadcasting and industrial sectors in relation to both UK and multi-jurisdictional cartel investigations and follow-on litigation before the English High Court and CAT. While at the CMA, Patrick worked on various matters across the CMA’s Policy & International, Cartels, Markets and Antitrust Directorates, focusing in particular on CA98 investigations and digital market studies. 

Damien Geradin, the founder of Geradin Partners says: 

“I am delighted that Patrick is joining our firm. It is a further testimony to our commitment to build a first-rate competition practice in the UK. As part of our London team, he will join four former CMA officials cumulating over 25 years’ experience at senior level. No other firm combines as much CMA experience as ours. Patrick will immediately contribute to our litigation practice, which is busy handling multiple claims before the Competition Appeal Tribunal. But his versatility will make him a go-to lawyer for investigations and DMCC work.” 

Patrick Teague observes: 

“I’m very excited to join Geradin Partners as it continues its expansion in the UK and the EU. In just a short space of time it has established itself as a major player on the UK competition litigation scene, combining ambition and innovation to position itself at the cutting edge of the competition collective actions regime. The firm also works on a number of complex competition and consumer matters, making it an ideal next step for me following my time at Freshfields and the CMA. I look forward to working with the firm’s many clients on various matters across the firm’s portfolio.” 

Geradin Partners is a pan-European law firm focused on competition law, digital regulation and litigation with offices in Brussels, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Helsinki.
