Vanessa Turner, a renowned figure in international antitrust law with over three decades of experience, has joined O’Melveny’s Brussels office as a partner within the Antitrust & Competition Practice Group[1][3].

O’Melveny chair Bradley J Butwin expressed delight at Turner’s joining the firm, praising her unrivalled experience and leadership[1]. Turner, in turn, is impressed by O’Melveny’s collaborative culture and powerful platform[1].
Turner also looks forward to doing pro bono work out of Brussels as part of O’Melveny’s award-winning pro bono programme[1]. This move not only strengthens O’Melveny’s European antitrust practice but also underscores the firm’s commitment to pro bono work[1].
With Turner on board, O’Melveny’s Brussels office now boasts a seasoned partner providing deep antitrust and competition law expertise, making her a key component in their European competition practice group[1][3]. Turner will advise clients on cartel and antitrust investigations, as well as EU, UK, and German national merger control[1].
