Romain Girard

Romain Girard advises multinational corporations and institutions on complex antitrust and foreign direct investment (FDI) regulatory matters. The Legal 500 UK recognizes Romain in the EU and Competition category, describing him as “helpful, knowledgeable and personable” and “his legal knowledge is spot on – in particular, his awareness of legal developments in key jurisdictions across the world is very useful."

Romain has extensive experience advising clients on all aspects of EU, UK and international antitrust and FDI matters and representing them before the European Commission, as well as UK competition authorities and courts. His practice covers multiple industries including financial institutions and private equity, telecommunications media and technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, aerospace, metals and mining, automotive, defense, and life sciences.

Romain’s practice also covers international trade and EU/UK sanctions, with extensive experience navigating the complexities of these highly dynamic regimes both defensively (i.e. advising on third party audits and lawsuit), and offensively (advising on voluntary disclosures and complaints).
