Gide Loyrette Nouel A.A.R.P.I

Competition & International Trade

Ségolène Pelsy is a partner in Gide's Competition team in Brussels.

In merger control, Ségolène manages complex transactions that may require the negotiation of innovative commitments. For example, she was involved in the takeover of William Saurin by Cofigeo and the first use by the Minister of the Economy of his power of evocation (Phase III). In the area of anti-competitive practices, Ségolène is involved in the proceedings initiated by the European Commission against Google for abuse of a dominant position. In this case, she assisted one of the main plaintiffs, who is now appearing in support of the Commission before the European Court of First Instance.

Ségolène also has extensive experience of cartel proceedings and managing internal audits (including compliance training). She assists trade associations present in Brussels in this context. Finally, Ségolène advises companies on competition law in jurisdictions outside the EU, working closely with the firm's international offices, particularly in North Africa.

She has been a member of the Brussels and Paris Bars since 2008.
