Lena Sandberg has joined K&L Gates as a partner in its antitrust, competition, and trade regulation practice in Brussels, the firm revealed earlier this week. Sandberg, who transitioned from her previous role at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, will focus on areas including state aid, competition law, and abuse of dominant position. Her expertise will be particularly beneficial to clients operating within sectors such as energy, environmental, telecommunications, and electronic communications.
The addition of Sandberg further strengthens K&L Gates’ capabilities in Brussels, a critical hub for European Union regulatory practices. Her experience will provide valuable insights into the intricacies of EU competition law and policy, an area of increasing importance given the evolving regulatory landscape. Her practice will likely play a pivotal role as companies navigate the complexities of compliance and regulatory matters in cross-border trade and competition issues.
This strategic hire demonstrates K&L Gates’ commitment to bolstering their offerings in key European markets, aligning with ongoing demands for comprehensive legal services in international trade regulation. For further details, the announcement can be read on Bloomberg Law.
