Willkie Farr & Gallagher has hired an antitrust partner in Brussels, strengthening its competition practice in the city that is also home to the Directorate-General for Competition regulators who have hit Big Tech with billions in fines over the past decade. The hiring of Elvira Aliende Rodriguez will help fill a gap left by the departure of Jens-Olrik Murach, a Willkie antitrust partner from 2021 to 2024 when he left to join Alston & Bird as a partner. Willkie’s former European competition chair Philipp Girardet moved to Clifford Chance the same year. Aliende Rodriguez spent most of her career at legacy Shearman & Sterling, where she joined in 2011 and was made a partner in 2017 before leaving in May 2024 to briefly practice independently ahead of joining Willkie. Boris Bronfentrinker, partner and chair of Willkie’s European antitrust and competition litigation practice, described Aliende Rodriguez’s hire as part of a concerted investment to build out its global antitrust and competition practice in an email statement, “We expect there will be further additions in Brussels following on from Elvira.” Full story from Linda A.

Switzerland is set to enhance its reputation as a premier hub for resolving international commercial disputes with the introduction of specialized international commercial courts since the beginning of 2025. So far envisaged for Zurich, Berne and Geneva, these courts will decide on cross-border business disputes in English language proceedings. This move further strengthens Switzerland’s reputation in dispute resolution, providing businesses with a streamlined, effective forum for international dispute resolution.
