Elisabetta has over 15 years' experience in advising clients on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious competition law. Her practice focuses on UK and EU merger, NSI and FDI control, as well as advising on all aspects of competition law arising from commercial agreements.

Elisabetta regularly advises clients on UK and EU merger control as well as the National Security and Investment Act and Foreign Direct Investment aspects of their transactions, often managing cross-border teams for merger control and foreign direct investment filing purposes. Elisabetta advises global players in the tech, pharma and manufacturing sectors on the competition aspects of their UK and/or EU purchasing, sales and distribution (e-commerce, agency, selective and exclusive distributorships and franchise systems). She has a keen interest in the competition aspects of commercial agreements with an ESG focus. She has been recommended as someone clients can trust to deliver sound competition advice.

During her career, Elisabetta has worked for both the Competition and Markets Authority, Ofgem and the European Commission.
