Jessica Gardner

I am a Partner in Fieldfisher’s Competition and Regulatory group. I advise UK and international clients on all aspects of competition and consumer law, regulatory compliance, and ESG.

I have particular expertise in guiding clients through CMA investigations, including dawn raids, market studies, cartel/antitrust cases, and merger control. I also advise on competition risks in day-to-day operations - pricing, distribution, information-sharing and dominance concerns - often in a cross-border context.

Alongside competition law, I counsel clients on ESG and consumer protection, helping them interpret and implement new regulatory requirements across sectors such as food & drink, retail/consumer goods and life sciences.  My aim is always to provide clear, practical advice that helps clients navigate risk and turn compliance into strategic advantage.

I am recognised by Legal 500 as a Next Generation Partner (2023–2026) and was named one of Law.com’s Top 25 UK Female Lawyers under 40.  Clients have also nominated me as a Thomson Reuters Stand-Out Lawyer (2022 & 2023), and I was runner-up in the ‘Lawyer of the Year’ category at the Modern Law Awards 2022.
