David Wingfield combines his deep knowledge of antitrust economics with a comprehensive understanding of UK/EU, American, and Canadian competition laws to provide sophisticated advice and peerless representation.
He is equally at home developing stand-alone competition cases, follow-on damage claims, or acting for defendants challenging the economic or legal foundations of competition claims.
As the former head of the antitrust division of the Canadian Department of Justice, he was responsible for developing cutting-edge enforcement strategies for competition infringements, particularly in the digital economy and associated platforms. These proceedings frequently involved extensive collaboration with competition authorities in various jurisdictions, including the United States.
As one of the few former heads of a G7 antitrust division who has an active litigation practice in competition law – both in the UK and internationally – David occupies a unique position at the Bar. He has acted for governments and advised prime ministers and currently serves as a Non-Governmental Adviser to the International Competition Network, an organisation of over 100 competition agencies from around the world that addresses competition law enforcement and policy issues.
David Wingfield is called to Bar at the Middle Temple, is an attorney of New York State, and is a barrister and solicitor of Ontario, Canada. He is a Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America.
