Clifford Chance and Hogan Lovells have all bolstered their European antitrust practices with key appointments.
Clifford Chance has added to its Paris antitrust team with the hire of David Tayar as a partner, who joins from Wilkie Farr & Gallagher’s Paris team, where he worked for 11 years.
Tayar, who spent six years as an associate at Freshfields, is a specialist in handling merger control investigations on behalf of European and French antitrust agencies.
Clifford Chance’s global antitrust head Thomas Vinje described Tayar as having an ‘outstanding reputation’ and the hire would satisfy the firm’s clients’ “needs and expectations.”
Hogan Lovells also strengthened its Brussels office with the appointment of partner Salomé Cisnal de Ugarte, from Crowell & Moring.
Ugarte’s expertise spans a range of sectors, although she has a particular focus on consumer goods and financial services. Ugarte has experience advising clients during merger transactions and antitrust investigations.
Matthew Levitt, managing partner of Hogan Lovells’ Brussels office, described Ugarte as “exactly the kind of international antitrust lawyer that we look for.”
