Experience

Antitrust/Competition

At Hausfeld, she is part of the legal team working on:

An opt-out collective action filed on behalf of UK publishers of websites and apps against tech giant Google in the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal. The claim alleges that Google has infringed competition law in the online display advertising market where over 200,000 websites and apps have lost out on ad revenue, and could therefore collectively receive an estimated £3.4bn in damages.

Commercial & Financial Disputes

Prior to joining Hausfeld, Cara was part of legal teams representing:

A public body in a negligence claim.
A public body in a procurement challenge.
A financial institution in an unjust enrichment dispute.

Pro Bono

Before Hausfeld, Cara was involved in several pro bono initiatives including:

Acting in a highly publicised and successful landmark judicial review.
Drafting a Victims’ Right to Review Application, which resulted in the re-opening of a criminal investigation.
Acting in three inquests and one public inquiry.
Contributing to a report on the impact of Generative AI on the Right to Free and Fair Elections.
