By  |  April 26, 2016

Less than a year after it hired Barclays Bank’s global head of financial crime Jonathan Peddie, Baker & McKenzie has returned to one of its largest London clients to hire global competition head Nicola Northway.

She will join Bakers’ competition practice as a partner in London as the firm gears up for life in an intensified regulatory space, as City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority handed new competition powers at the start of last year.

Northway said: ‘The antitrust and competition landscape has changed enormously in recent years.

I’m looking forward to joining Baker & McKenzie’s market leading antitrust and competition practice and helping clients globally to navigate these areas.’
