Peter Scott

Norton Rose FulbrightManaging Partner EMEA

Peter Scott is Managing Partner of Norton Rose Fulbright’s Europe, the Middle East and Asia region. Peter is an antitrust and competition lawyer based in London who focuses on all areas of contentious antitrust and competition law work, including High Court and Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) litigation, European Court proceedings, arbitration cases and investigations by the competition authorities.

Peter has a pragmatic and commercial approach, which has resulted in him being recognised in the leading legal directories, including in Chambers & Partners as a tier 1 contentious competition lawyer (“clients report that “he is practical and commercial and has become a trusted advisor to our business””), and in The Legal 500 as a “very commercial” contentious specialist, as “clear and analytical” and who “cuts through to the core arguments”. Peter has a practice that “spans the worlds of contentious and non-contentious competition work very well” (The Legal 500).

Peter trained with Norton Rose Fulbright and spent the first six years of his career as a general commercial litigator before joining the antitrust and competition team in 2005. He was made a partner in the team two years later. This move was made in response to a significant increase in the number of competition disputes that are being privately litigated before the High Court, as well as the growing number of appeals from regulators’ decisions to the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and ‘follow-on’ claims for damages being brought before the High Court and the CAT.
