Alvaro is an antitrust, competition and trade counsel in our Amsterdam office, specializing in antitrust, state aid and other (internal) market regulation. He has acted on many high-profile litigious matters, including a number of appeals against the EU tax ruling decisions (state aid); multi-jurisdictional cartel defence mandates (cartel litigation, follow-on claims); and civil antitrust litigation involving online platforms and sports broadcasting rights. Another core part of Alvaro's practice is advising clients in sectors including (online) tech, telecoms, media, FMCG and energy on complex EU regulatory matters (sector regulation, free movement, consumer protection).
