Héctor Armengod, Global Vice Chair of the Antitrust & Competition Practice, helps clients secure antitrust clearances for their transformational deals before regulators in the EU and globally.

Leveraging over two decades of experience, Héctor combines deep industry knowledge with a unique understanding of the global antitrust landscape to help clients navigate:

- Merger control proceedings before the European Commission, and other antitrust regulators globally

- European Commission cartel and Article 102 TFEU investigations

- Complex licensing, joint venture, distribution, co-promotion, co-marketing, and co-operation agreements in the context of competition law

He regularly guides clients on their largest and most complex strategic mergers, which typically require merger clearances in the EU and in multiple jurisdictions globally. Héctor’s expertise cuts across sectors, with a particular focus on life sciences, media and entertainment, automotive, industrial, and consumer products, and business services.

Before joining Latham, Héctor worked as competition lawyer at another international law firm in Brussels and in the Brussels and Madrid offices of a Spanish law firm. He gained insight into the workings of the European Commission during an internship with the Competition Directorate General of the European Commission.
