Launch of new Partner Scheme for Competition Appeal Tribunal Proceedings

Advocate is pleased to announce the launch of a new pilot scheme, in collaboration with the Competition Appeal Tribunal (“CAT”), providing free legal assistance and representation to litigants in person before the Competition Appeal Tribunal.

The scheme, which will run for an initial period of eighteen months, aims to improve access to justice for individuals and organisations involved in complex competition law proceedings who would otherwise be unrepresented.

The scheme is supported by a panel of over 50 volunteer barristers, all committed to delivering high-quality pro bono legal support.

Litigants in person seeking assistance are invited to complete Advocate’s application form. For those unable to complete the online form, support is available via email at catscheme@weareadvocate.org.uk or by leaving a voicemail at 020 4518 6141.

Barristers interested in volunteering for the scheme are encouraged to contact Advocate at catscheme@weareadvocate.org.uk.
