Howrey Expands Competition Practice To Madrid
Martínez Lage, Spain’s leading specialist competition firm, will join Howrey LLP, effective January 1, 2008. Howrey, which is consistently ranked as the world’s top competition firm, has a significant antitrust presence in Europe as well as throughout the United States.

Robert F. Ruyak, the firm’s Chairman and CEO, noted the firm’s expertise in a variety of area’s of Spanish and EU competition law. “Santiago Martinez Lage has built, together with his partners Rafael Allendesalazar and Helmut Brokelmann, a firm with a first class reputation for all aspects of Spanish and EU competition law- especially high profile mergers, state aid, antitrust litigation and Article 81 and 82 issues. These are areas in which Howrey, too, excels. We will work well together and look forward to serving our clients from this vibrant city. We welcome the distinguished lawyers of the Martínez Lage law firm to Howrey.”

Martínez Lage was founded in 1985 by Santiago Martínez Lage, who is its Managing Partner. The firm currently consists of eleven lawyers. The leading international professional directories ( Legal 500, Chambers and PLC) rank Martínez Lage in the top tier of Spanish Competition law firms and the latest edition of Chambers Global The World’s Leading Lawyers, published in 2006, defined it as "the best competition boutique by far". In 2001 Martínez Lage & Asociados was chosen by Commercial Lawyer as one of the top four firms in Europe in its specialist area. In that year the same publication named Santiago Martínez Lage as one of the three Spanish lawyers and fifty European lawyers -in all specialist areas- most respected by their clients. Rafael Allendesalazar and Helmut Brokelmann are also regularly quoted leading individuals. In 2007’s Chambers referred to Rafael Allendesalazar as “the leading name of his generation” and in 2004, the Global Competition Review included Helmut Brokelmann in its report “40 under 40 – The world’s 40 brightest young antitrust lawyers and economists”.

Santiago Martínez Lage noted that the new Spanish competition law will dramatically reinforce the application of competition law and policy in Spain, by strengthening the National Competition Commission and boosting private enforcement. “It will be critical for those of us who understand the subtleties of these changes, to provide our clients with the latest and most precise information possible. We are well positioned to do just that.”

Trevor Soames, head of Howrey’s European antitrust practice, stressed the importance of continuing to expand and develop the group with top tier talent drawn from the member states of the European Union, as well as seeking to develop centers of excellence that, while being part of the overall European antitrust practice, are based in those countries which are crucial to the business of the firm and its clients. He commented “Howrey has built its reputation over the last 50 or so years as the top firm in antitrust law. The Martínez Lage firm joins an expert and highly motivated international team of outstanding antitrust practitioners drawn from many European countries, all of whom joined Howrey to provide first class service to our clients worldwide. We look forward to building with them a strong and successful practice in Spain as we have elsewhere.”

Martínez Lage & Asociados, Líder Español En Deredco De La Competencia, Se Integra En El Primer Despacho Mundial Howrey
Martínez Lage & Asociados, el despacho español líder en Derecho de la Competencia, se integrará en Howrey LLP a partir del 1 de enero de 2008. Howrey, generalmente reconocida como la firma líder mundial en asuntos de competencia, cuenta con una importante presencia en esta área de especialización tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos.

Robert F. Ruyak, Presidente y CEO de la firma, resaltó la maestría del despacho que ahora se integra en las distintas áreas del Derecho de la Competencia, tanto español como de la UE: “Santiago Martínez Lage ha creado, junto con sus socios Rafael Allendesalazar y Helmut Brokelmann, un despacho con una reputación de primera clase en todos los aspectos del Derecho de la Competencia español y de la UE, en especial en operaciones de concentración complejas, ayudas de Estado, pleitos de defensa de la competencia, cárteles y otros acuerdos restrictivos de la competencia, y abusos de posición de dominio. Estas son también áreas en las que destaca Howrey. Vamos a trabajar juntos y estamos deseosos de atender a nuestros clientes desde esta pujante ciudad. Damos la bienvenida a los excelentes abogados de Martínez Lage & Asociados a Howrey”.

Martínez Lage & Asociados fue fundado en 1985 por Santiago Martínez Lage, que sigue siendo el Socio Director. En la actualidad, el despacho cuenta con once abogados. Los principales directorios internacionales (Legal 500, Chambers y PLC) sitúan a Martínez Lage & Asociados en el primer lugar de los despachos españoles especializados en defensa de la competencia. La edición del Chambers Global, The World’s Leading Lawyers publicada en 2006, lo definía como “con mucho, la mejor boutique de competencia". En 2001, Martínez Lage & Asociados resultó elegido por Commercial Lawyer como una de las cuatro mejores firmas de Europa en esta área de especialización. En ese año, la misma publicación citaba a Santiago Martínez Lage como uno de los tres abogados españoles, y de los cincuenta abogados europeos, de todas las especialidades, más respetados por sus clientes. Rafael Allendesalazar y Helmut Brokelmann aparecen también con regularidad citados como líderes en la materia. En 2007, Chambers se refería a Rafael Allendesalazar como “el principal nombre de su generación” y en 2004, la Global Competition Review incluyó a Helmut Brokelmann en su informe “40 de menos de 40 años – entre los 40 abogados y economistas más brillantes del mundo especializados en defensa de la competencia”.

Santiago Martínez Lage ha destacado que es muy interesante que el ámbito de las respectivas prácticas de los dos despachos sea casi idéntico, “dado el elevado grado de especialización que practicamos ambas firmas. Para que la coincidencia sea completa, nosotros vamos a incorporar en los próximos meses un equipo de especialistas en propiedad industrial e intelectual de alta calidad". También ha subrayado que la nueva ley de defensa de la competencia española potenciará decisivamente la aplicación de las normas de defensa de la competencia en España, al crear una fuerte Comisión Nacional de la Competencia, dotada de amplias facultades, y hacer posible la aplicación privada de este Derecho por los Juzgados de lo Mercantil. “Las empresas que operan en España, tanto nacionales como extranjeras, van a estar más necesitadas que nunca de un asesoramiento de primera clase en esta materia. Estamos en las mejores condiciones para dárselo, reforzados, además, por la dimensión global y la presencia en Bruselas que nos ofrece la integración en Howrey”.

Trevor Soames, director del Departamento Europeo de Defensa de la Competencia de Howrey, destacó la importancia de seguir ampliando y desarrollando el grupo con especialistas de primera clase como los de Martínez Lage & Asociados, seleccionados en todos los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea, así como buscar el desarrollo de centros de excelencia que, formando parte de este Departamento Europeo de Defensa de la Competencia, estén situados en aquellos países que son cruciales para sus clientes. Comentó “Howrey se ha ganado a lo largo de los últimos 50 años una reputación como la mejor firma en Derecho de la Competencia. Martínez Lage & Asociados se une a un equipo internacional, experto y muy motivado, de destacados especialistas en defensa de la competencia procedentes de numerosos países europeos, que se han integrado en Howrey para prestar un servicio de primera calidad a clientes de todo el mundo. Confiamos en construir con ellos una práctica fuerte y de éxito en España, como la que tenemos en otros lugares.”
