5mins AI

Competition law is no place for generalists. Whether you’re advising on a billion-euro merger or dissecting a single footnote in an authority’s guidance, one misstep can cost millions—or worse, derail an entire deal. Precision isn’t just preferred in this practice area—it’s the price of entry.

Enter CompetitionAI, an AI-powered platform designed specifically for antitrust and foreign direct investment (FDI) lawyers. It’s not just another legal assistant—it’s a competition law copilot, built by someone who’s been in the trenches. Think less “jack of all trades,” and more “expert with a scalpel.”

Built for a Niche, Not Just Another LLM

What sets CompetitionAI apart? Everything, starting with the founder: a former Clifford Chance and IMF lawyer who lived through the time pressures, the document dumps, and the regulatory tightropes that define competition law practice.

This isn’t some generic GPT-powered helper offering lukewarm summaries. CompetitionAI was purpose-built to do one thing extremely well: help competition and FDI lawyers find the exact, sourced legal content they need—fast, verifiable, and backed by citation.

It pulls from a vast pool of regulations, competition authority decisions, and internal documentation, giving you an edge when you’re preparing filings, advising on merger clearance, or navigating a cartel investigation.

Copilot, Not Substitute

CompetitionAI doesn’t pretend to be your lawyer—it’s the lawyer’s lawyer. Think of it as a digital research associate who never sleeps and never guesses. You ask a question; it shows you exactly where the answer comes from. Click. Confirm. Cite.

Whether you’re poring over a 2-million-word trove of internal documents or decoding the nuances of a short ruling from a competition authority, CompetitionAI gets to the relevant provision or passage in seconds. No fluff. No guesswork. Just clarity.

Built-In Speed for Deals That Can’t Wait

When you’re advising on a cross-border M&A deal, you don’t have time for half-baked AI answers. What you need is:

• Direct source links—so you can verify every detail

• Clause-specific pinpointing—for fast decision-making

• Instant access to guidance documents—because regulators don’t wait for anyone

With CompetitionAI, your research becomes a strategic asset, not a time drain. You’ll get faster to the heart of the issue, and your clients will feel it.

A Toolkit Made for Your Workflow

Here’s what CompetitionAI currently puts in the hands of lawyers around the world:

• ✅ AI-powered legal search purpose-built for antitrust and FDI

• ✅ Antitrust + M&A modules for complex deal support

Not Just Adopted—Already Trusted

Since launching in late 2023, CompetitionAI has already been used by lawyers from over 100 firms and 75 corporate legal teams in 30+ countries. This isn’t some shiny new toy—it’s battle-tested in real deals and real investigations.

The team’s next focus? Expanding platform capabilities to cover more aspects of competition analysis, M&A review, and investigatory support. But they’re sticking to what they do best: staying laser-focused on competition law.

If you work in this field, you already know the stakes. And you know that generic tools won’t cut it. You need a copilot that understands your world—because it was built in it.
