The competition team at Pérez-Llorca is sought out by clients from major sectors, including finance, telecoms, transport and energy, on matters relating to infringement proceedings, cartel investigations, abuse of dominance and damages claims. The team is led by a capable duo: Juan Jiménez-Laiglesia, who has over two decades' experience in competition law both in Madrid and Brussels, and stands out for his capabilities in abuse of dominance cases and civil litigation; and Juan Rodríguez Cárcamo, who has a strong track record in proceedings before the EU institutions. Jaime De Blas is often called upon to assist with compliance programmes and contentious-administrative proceedings, while Pablo Figueroa is entrusted with high-profile cases concerning EU antitrust law. Ana María Rodríguez is a name to note when seeking assistance with state aid and disputes related to EU law.
