Alison Berridge
Barrister, Monckton Chambers
Alison is a competition law specialist, recommended in the field by Chambers, Legal 500 and Who’s Who Legal. According to Chambers (2015),“She is very bright, gets across all the material in a case and really mucks in with the client team, which makes a huge difference” while Legal 500 describes her as “very bright indeed – focused and shrewd” (2015). Who’s Who Legal (2016) describes her as a “rapidly rising junior”, who is“practical, discerning and responsive”.
Alison qualified as a solicitor in 1999 and was called to the bar in 2011. She has successfully guided clients through all aspects of competition regulation, including merger approvals, antitrust investigations and litigation, both at domestic and EU levels. Her work often involves analysing the relationship between domestic and EU law, and she has advised both the CMA and BIS in this area.
She has particular expertise in merger control and is co-author (with Alistair Lindsay) of The EU Merger Regulation: Substantive Issues (Sweet & Maxwell, 4th edition, 2012), a leading textbook on merger control issues.
