International law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner announced the appointment of former BLP lawyer Edward Coulson as Partner in the Competition Litigation team in its Litigation and Corporate Risk practice.
Edward, who trained and qualified at BLP, rising to Senior Associate, re-joins the Firm from Hausfeld, which he joined as a Partner in April 2015. He advises on complex competition litigation and regularly conducts multi-party litigation before the High Court, Court of Appeal and Competition Appeal Tribunal. His practice is focused on cartel damages actions and other competition and regulatory disputes, including in relation to procurement matters and sector regulation.
Edward spent over a decade at BLP and during this time he played a lead role acting for National Grid, helping it to pursue one of Europe’s largest cartel damages claims. The Firm won several turning-point rulings in the Gas Insulated Switchgear claim that changed the way the courts handle this kind of case and also influenced new European Union disclosure laws.
The case was also recognised with a number of high-profile industry awards including Global Competition Review’s Cartel Prosecution Litigation of the Year 2015. Edward also took a leading role at BLP in a number of major regulatory investigations and resolution through ADR of complex competition disputes.
