This excellent team is very easy to work with – it combines tactical acumen with a very pleasant manner. We regard the team as the leading practice in Europe on the claimant side dealing with antitrust damages claims.

The Legal 500 UK, 2021

Known for its ‘pioneering work’ in the claimant space, Hausfeld’s ‘amazing’ team has a successful track record negotiating settlements for its clients. With a stable foothold across Europe as well as the US, the firm has attracted praise due to its wide market reach in the sphere of private competition law enforcement.

The Legal 500 UK, 2021

In London, Hausfeld is the leading competition litigation firm acting on the claimant side. The team has over a decade of experience. The firm has offices elsewhere in Europe, which allows it to take a pan-European approach to managing claims.

The Legal 500 UK, 2020

Hausfeld stands out for the breadth of its practice within its exclusive focus on plaintiff litigation. The US-based firm is well established and busy in the UK, Netherlands and Germany, while also maintaining a presence in other less active jurisdictions. With European offices in London, Brussels, Berlin and Dusseldorf, Hausfeld offers its clients the ability to forum shop to an unusual extent. A substantial number of Hausfeld’s cases are not yet in the public domain, but those that are constitute some of the most significant ongoing cases in the European claimants’ bar.
