Lena Sandberg

Lena’s practice covers all aspects of competition law, including State aid, abuse of dominant position, cartels, and merger filings. She is an expert in State aid, having worked in that area for more than 25 years, both in the public and private sectors. In addition, she has extensive regulatory experience in the energy/environmental sectors (including renewables, gas and electricity production and transmission). She also has substantial experience with electronic communications sectors (telecommunications, Internet and IT). She litigates a vast number of State aid and other cases before the European courts and negotiates with international institutions such as the European Commission and national competition/regulatory bodies.

Prior to the EFTA Surveillance Authority where she worked extensively with State aid and energy, Lena worked at Olswang (1999-2004) on a wide range of antitrust issues in the telecommunication and broadband sectors (in particular for Belgacom), and before that with Morgan Lewis and Bockius (1994-1997) and International Paper Company (in-house counsel 1993-1994).
