Commenting on the move, Michael Cutting, Linklaters global head of competition, said:
“I am really pleased that Simon is joining us. Simon is a tremendously talented competition lawyer with a wealth of experience of the OFT and international competition bodies and of private practice.”
Simon Pritchard said:
“I have had three happy years at A&O – it is tough to leave so many fine colleagues and I wish them well. At the same time I am looking forward to joining the Linklaters team. “
