We regularly represent our clients in multinational mergers and joint ventures; cartel, abuse of dominance, and restrictive practice cases and investigations before the Spanish and EU antitrust authorities. We are trusted by our clients to lead them in high-profile strategic cases, most recently advising on complex and relevant investigations by the Spanish Competition authority (CNMC).
