Antitrust and Competition Law Editing and Proofreading Services

Competition law has a feature that shapes everything written near it: the documents are collected. In a dawn raid or a document production, regulators take internal emails, strategy decks, and meeting notes written by people who never imagined an enforcement lawyer reading them. A sales manager's phrase about "keeping prices firm across the market" is not a violation by itself, but it is the sentence that appears in the case summary.

We edit merger notification filings and submissions, competition compliance programs and training materials, leniency and immunity applications, responses to information requests, economic and expert evidence, distribution and pricing policies, information-exchange protocols for trade associations, and internal guidance on permissible conduct. Our editors also review commercial documents for language that reads worse than the conduct it describes, and flag phrasing likely to be quoted out of context.

Compliance training is where editing earns the most. A policy telling staff to "avoid inappropriate contact with competitors" teaches nobody anything; one giving concrete examples of what may not be discussed, in the words people actually use, changes behaviour.

All filings and investigation material are treated as strictly confidential. We do not assess conduct — we make sure your documents say what you mean and cannot easily be made to say something else.
