Garrigues’ competition and antitrust team is commended for its ‘deep understanding of the regulatory framework and outstanding analytical skills’. Well versed across a broad scope of merger reviews, administrative investigations, unfair competition litigation and compliance issues, the team additionally stands out for its experience in heavily regulated sectors such as transport, technology, and oil-and-gas. A former Superintendent of the SIC, José Miguel De La Calle spearheads both the competition and public law departments; he is currently representing Hoteles de Occidente in an administrative investigation into allegedly anti-competitive practices in the hospitality sector. The group further draws on a deep pool of associates including principal David Toro, who demonstrates ’in-depth knowledge of the regulatory provisions’; senior Anamaría Rico, who is noted for her ‘excellent client service and knowledge’; and senior Adolfo Enrique Gómez, whose administrative law focus spans competition, data protection, consumer law and litigation. Former senior Julieth Sanclemente left the firm in August 2024.
