Contreras Velozo
Contreras Velozo's seven-member competition and regulation practice has a strong market reputation for its antitrust litigation credentials, which span collusion, abuse of dominance, non-contentious proceedings and follow-on damages litigation. With ‘availability, quality and service that stand out', the group is also notably active in merger-control work, with its experience covering the banking, food, telecoms, construction, healthcare and ports sectors in particular. The team is co-led by former Competition Court judge Javier Velozo (’great commitment to the cases he takes on'), whose track record includes FNE investigations; and antitrust and regulated markets expert Pablo Pardo. Former FNE lawyer Francisca Lobos is the associate to note. María De Los Ángeles Figueroa returned to the FNE in May 2022.
