Leading EU competition law practitioner joins Geradin Partners’ Brussels office

Geradin Partners is pleased to announce that Trevor Soames, a leading European competition law practitioner, will be joining its Brussels office at the end of January. Since 2016 he has been the managing partner of Quinn Emanuel in Brussels.

Trevor has nearly 40 years of experience in the competition field. He has first chaired many leading cases over the years in all aspects of EU and UK antitrust/competition law including mergers, joint ventures, cartels, monopolisation (abuse of dominance), state aid and associated litigation including civil damages claims and appeals. Current non-confidential case work includes, amongst others: the Microsoft Teams investigation where he advises Salesforce and Slack, the lead complainant; Corning (together with Geradin Partners), Air Canada in its Court of Justice appeal in the Airfreight case and Printeos-related litigation regarding interest recovery.

Damien Geradin, the founder of Geradin Partners, says:

“I am thrilled that Trevor has decided to join our thriving and rapidly growing competition practice. Trevor and I were colleagues at Howrey for several years, and he was a wonderful mentor and colleague. We have remained friends ever since. I cannot wait to be reunited with him. Trevor will further strengthen our law firm, which has now grown to over 30 lawyers, spread across five offices, including 12 partners. Trevor’s experience will be valued by our clients, particularly in the context of complex contentious matters.”
