Michelle Meagher will be working with us as an expert in monopoly power and competition law. Michelle is a competition lawyer and has worked in private practice, for regulators, and international institutions. She is a Senior Policy Fellow at UCL Centre for Law, Economics and Society, co-founder of the Balanced Economy Project, an international anti-monopoly alliance, and the Inclusive Competition Forum, an academic think tank.

Michelle is the author of Competition is Killing Us, a book about corporate power and accountability and the myths embedded in free market capitalism and shareholder primacy. It was chosen by Martin Wolf at the Financial Times as a Best Economics Book of 2020 and shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Bracken Bower prize in 2018.

As a Senior Fellow working with SOMO, Michelle will undertake research on the systemic sources of corporate power and rethink the leverage points for change, particularly within the fields of regulation, legal values, and norms.
