Emily is a Principal in the London office. She joined Keystone from the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), where she worked as a Director leading market and merger investigations. Emily has over 15 years of experience as a competition practitioner undertaking analysis, research, providing advice and overseeing the delivery of large complex investigations.
