White & Case S.C.

Client Satisfaction

The ‘young but very competent’ competition law team at White & Case S.C. is appreciated for its ‘industry knowledge and business focus’. Transactional matters coming under scrutiny from Cofece are the standout strength of the team, which has recently assisted clients with energy sector M&A, and a commercial alliance in the aviation sector. Cofece anti-trust investigations are also handled by the department, with experienced practice head Henri Capin Gally equally well-equipped to handle advice on transactions and sector investigations. Constitutional and administrative disputes are the focus of Fernando García Gómez‘s practice, while Román González -who was promoted to international partner in Octoer 2024- advises on the competition aspects of projects in both the public and private sectors, be they transactional or ajudicatory.
