Hannah Bergström

Hannah Bergström is a director in the competition practice in Singapore. She leads the firm’s economic work on private enforcement in the region and advises on cartel and abuse-of-dominance cases in Europe. She has worked on more than twenty damages actions and regulatory investigations, acting for both claimants and defendants, and has given written and oral expert evidence.

Her work covers industrial goods, shipping, logistics and access to infrastructure such as ports and pipelines. She is known for regression-based overcharge estimates that remain transparent to courts, and for careful analysis of pass-on along supply chains. She also advises on exclusionary pricing and refusal-to-supply cases involving vertically integrated operators.

Before joining Pemberton & Co. she worked as an economist at a Nordic competition authority, where she contributed to cartel and merger decisions, and later joined the Brussels office of an economics consultancy. She holds a doctorate in economics from the Stockholm School of Economics and a master’s degree in econometrics from the University of Amsterdam.

She is recommended as a competition economist by the leading directories and has published on the estimation of cartel overcharges in peer-reviewed journals. She speaks at competition law conferences in Europe and Asia on private enforcement and is a guest lecturer on quantitative methods in competition cases at a Singapore law school.
