Álvaro López de Ochoa García

I am an Associate in our Competition & EU Law practice in Belgium.

I advise clients on a wide range of EU and Spanish competition matters, including abuse of dominance, cartel investigations, merger control, State aid, Digital Markets Act and foreign subsidies. In addition, I occasionally assist clients in trade defense procedures.

From September 2023 to April 2025, I was Assistant Editor of World Competition, Law and Economics Journal (Wolters Kluwer), where I was responsible for the preliminary review of articles, coordination between authors and Editorial Board, and management of the final publication of the journal.

Prior to joining Bird & Bird in 2023, I worked for a top-tier Belgian law firm specialised in EU Competition and Trade Law in Brussels.
