Prominent European competition attorney Vincent Brophy has joined Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, as a partner in the firm’s antitrust practice group. He will be based in the firm’s Brussels and London offices.

His clients are frequently in the banking and financial services industry. Brophy is also experienced in mergers and acquisitions, investigations, and civil litigation concerning market power, agreements, cartels, and concerted practices.

"The addition of Vincent to our global antitrust team further strengthens our practice," stated head of Cadwalader’s antitrust group, Charles F. Rule. "In particular, Vincent’s strong and growing reputation as one of Europe’s go-to lawyers for cartel investigations and follow-on litigation nicely complements our market-leading practice in the United States. Increasingly, competition authorities and plaintiffs’ lawyers are coordinating across borders; integrating Vincent’s first-rank capability with our existing U.S. capability will further distinguish Cadwalader’s antitrust practice and enhance our global reputation as a destination antitrust practice."

"Cadwalader is globally recognized for its strong base of financial institution clients as well as for its outstanding global and European competition law practice," Brophy stated. "I look forward to reuniting with my friend and colleague Alex Burnside and working alongside him to serve the firm’s clients and further develop the excellent practice he has established."
