US: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati expands antitrust practice

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the leading provider of legal services to technology, life sciences, and growth enterprises worldwide, announced on Tuesday, April 3, that Gorka Navea has joined the firm’s antitrust practice as a partner in the Brussels office. Most recently, Navea served as deputy head of a cartel unit of the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission (EC).

Navea will focus his practice on advising clients on antitrust matters, including cartel investigations and competition-related factors relevant to mergers and acquisitions and intellectual property.

“Gorka has a distinguished career as a one of the preeminent cartels and merger review specialists in the European Union,” said Doug Clark, the firm’s managing partner. “Given the expanded and global scope of enforcement by competition authorities, clients need an expert practitioner like Gorka who has worked at the highest levels of the EC and is closely familiar with European competition law. We’re especially pleased that he has joined our firm, and his addition to our Brussels office represents growth in one of our core and most successful practice areas.”
