Activision-Blizzard has hired one of the UK's most prominent lawyers to assist in its appeal against the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
Earlier today (via the FT), it was revealed that Baron David Pannick, KC had been hired by the company after its merger was blocked by the CMA last month. Pannick is known for his handling of extremely high-profile cases. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he has represented Manchester City FC, the UK government, and Queen Elizabeth II. Recently, he assisted former Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the controversial 'partygate' probe that rocked UK politics.
