Tenisha Cramer

Associate, Bird & Bird

· I joined Bird & Bird in January 2023 from a top tier South African corporate law firm. I have worked on matters throughout the continent of Africa, advising on regional competition law developments and preparing merger notifications in various African jurisdictions, including COMESA. Since joining the firm, I have been involved in a wide range of competition law matters, including in the sports, pharmaceutical and retail sectors, drafted submissions to the CMA, and reviewed supply and distribution arrangements. My background in all aspects of competition law throughout Africa is very useful when advising clients on a wide range of complex and international competition law issues.

· My practice involves advising on a wide range of competition law matters in the UK and EU, from general competition law and regulatory compliance, to merger control, cartels, and prohibited practice matters.

· I am a member of the Tech & Comms and Global Media, Entertainment and Sport sector groups. I regularly work with my colleagues across our firm to advise our clients on cutting edge competition law issues.

I have a particular interest in prohibited practice work, specifically cartels.

The UK’s Digital Competition Regime

Practice notes

This Practice Note describes the proposed competition law framework regulating major online platforms designated as having ‘strategic market status’ (SMS), and also covers key competition investigations in the UK. It addresses key reports such as the Furman report and the CMA’s final report of the ‘Online Platforms and Digital Advertising’ market study that have informed the design of the SMS regime.
