The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Matthew Boswell, the former competition commissioner who led the federal agency during an overhaul of Canada's competition laws, is joining Norton Rose Fulbright as a partner in the firm's antitrust practice. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that Mr. Boswell, who will remain in Ottawa, led the Competition Bureau from 2018 until late 2025. In his new role, Mr. Boswell will help clients understand recent changes to Canada's Competition Act that he steered into legislation. During his time as commissioner, Mr. Boswell oversaw the Competition Bureau's high-profile challenge of Rogers Communications' $20-billion takeover of Shaw Communications. Mr. Boswell attempted to block the takeover, arguing during a lengthy hearing in front of Canada's merger court that the deal would harm competition despite the divestiture of Shaw's wireless carrier, Freedom Mobile, to Quebecor. The bureau was ultimately unsuccessful. The Competition Tribunal, which adjudicates cases brought forward by the bureau, approved the deal in late 2022, and the Federal Court of Appeal upheld that decision the following January. Mr. Boswell has been in public service for nearly 27 years.
