Mishcon de Reya announced that Neil Baylis will join the firm’s Competition Group as a partner on March 18, 2019.

Neil was previously a partner at K&L Gates, heading the firm’s Competition and Trade Regulation Group in London. He specialises in all aspects of EU and UK competition law, as well as giving advice on commercial, regulatory, and procurement issues. He has experience across a broad range of sectors, most notably in automotive, sports, manufacturing, and travel.

Neil’s appointment brings the total number of fee-earners in Mishcon’s Competition Group to ten, including three partners.
