Press release SENIOR DIRECTORS OF MERGERS APPOINTED 2 Senior Directors have been appointed by the CMA to oversee its work assessing companies’ mergers. Joel Bamford and Colin Raftery have


been appointed to the roles as part of the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) preparation for the UK exiting the EU, when it is expected there will be a significant increase in the


number and complexity of the merger inquiries it will conduct. As well as strengthening its senior management team, the CMA will also be recruiting a number of extra personnel to work on


mergers cases. The appointments of Joel and Colin, both previously directors of mergers at the CMA, follow an open recruitment process that attracted applications from a strong field of


candidates. Together with Andrea Gomes da Silva, Executive Director for Markets and Mergers, Joel and Colin will take decisions in the more complex Phase 1 merger cases. In addition, they


will oversee the merger group’s work across both the phase 1 and 2 portfolios, leading the CMA’s multi-disciplinary teams investigating mergers across a wide range of sectors. They take up


their appointments on 1 September 2018 and will report to Andrea Gomes da Silva. NOTES TO EDITORS * Joel Bamford joined the CMA in 2016, and prior to that was at the New Zealand Commerce


Commission where he had led several high profile investigations as a Senior Economist and then managed the Commission’s advocacy, policy and international functions. Joel previously served


as Economic Adviser to both the UK Office of Fair Trading and the UK Department for Work and Pensions. * Colin Raftery also joined the CMA in 2016, and prior to that was a Senior Associate


at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer (London), where he advised a wide range of clients on all aspects of UK and EU competition law. Before that, he was an Associate at Cleary Gottlieb Steen


and Hamilton (Brussels and Washington DC), advising on EU competition law. SHARE THIS PAGE The following links open in a new tab * Share on Facebook (opens in new tab) * Share on Twitter
