Lara Elzas
About:
I am an attorney-at-law at bureau Brandeis. I am specialized in (European) competition law and sector-specific regulation. Before joining bureau Brandeis, worked as a senior lawyer in the competition department of the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). I worked on a variety of complex competition law cases in different sectors (such as media, digital, retail, agriculture, transport and maritime). I gained experience in advising on and analysing competition law issues, conducting market interviews, oral hearings and dawn raids of the ACM. I also worked on international matters, such as participating in the cartel expertise group of the European Competition Network (ECN). Moreover, I was seconded to the European Commission for several months where I worked at DG Comp in the merger unit.
