The Competition and Markets Authority has appointed Anna Lintner and Narinder Jhittay as members of its panel of Standing Counsel. They join current Standing Counsel member Catherine Addy KC.

The CMA is the UK’s primary competition and consumer authority with responsibility for investigating mergers that have the potential to lead to substantial lessening of competition, investigating businesses to determine whether they have infringed UK competition law, enforcing consumer protection legislation, and conducting studies and investigations into particular markets where there are suspected competition and consumer concerns and ensuring the promotion of competition and innovation within digital markets.

Congratulations to Anna and Narinder.
