She advises clients on a broad range of EU and national law issues, including cross-border merger control, dawn raids and inspections, and competition and regulatory compliance. She has represented companies and trade associations in an array of sectors including energy, telecommunications, consumer goods/manufacturing and banking.
Alexandra regularly represents clients in merger control proceedings before the European Commission and the UK competition authority, including in complex investigations requiring divestitures. She also assists clients to obtain approval from the European Commission when purchasing assets divested as part of the EU merger procedure.

She represents clients in respect of M&A transactions, competition and regulatory compliance, obtaining clearance from competition authorities for merger transactions, cartel and monopoly investigations, regulatory investigations (obtaining FDI authorizations).
Alexandra also has a significant track record of defending and advising clients in major international cartel investigations in areas such as power cables, ball bearings and Euribor derivatives. Alexandra has experience working with the application of antitrust rules to horizontal and vertical agreements and has advised clients on abuse of dominance issues, including in relation to IP law.
