FIDERES

Muchas gracias a Fernando Bedoya y PEREZLLORCA ABOGADOS SLP por ofrecernos la oportunidad de compartir con sus clientes españoles nuestra experiencia en tema de #securitieslitigarion.

We at Fideres are happy to see the European Commission publish "Exploring Aspect of the State of Competition in the EU".  This overarching report is the product of our work alongside colleagues at Lear - Economic Consultancy, UEA/Centre for Competition Policy, E.CA Economics, DIW Berlin - German Institute for Economic Research, Prometeia and Verian Group, and sits alongside a parallel report by the OECD. The overarching report provides original evidence of the multifaceted benefits of effective competition, which has been shown to deliver improved outcomes for customers, to boost the competitiveness of domestic companies in international markets and, more generally, to contribute to economic growth and societal well-being. However, the report also identifies worrying signs that competition has weakened across markets in the EU. In particular the Fideres-CCP Report on Price-Concentration Analysis provides both quantitative and qualitative evidence of the link between higher concentration and higher prices in six sectors: airlines, beer, cement, mobile telecom, modern consumer retail and mortgages. For mobile telecom and airline pricing, we performed detailed empirical analyses confirming a causal link between prices and concentration. We also found higher concentration associated with lower investment, based on the example of mobile telephony. Our findings, alongside those of the wider project, speak to the vital importance of protecting competition to build an economy that works for everyone.

Very proud of the work that Antonio Neto and the FIDERES team have done with Sean Ennis and the Centre for Competition Policy, Mattia Nardotto, Lorien Sabatino and Tomaso Duso and the team at Lear - Economic Consultancy on the big report that will be launched at this event (alongside colleagues in the wider team including Elena Argentesi, Prometeia, E.ca and Kantar). Also looking forward to see the piece from Chiara Criscuolo and the team at OECD - OCDE / OECD Competition Law and Policy. The private enforcement of competition rules will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in protecting competition in Europe in the years to come (and Fideres will contribute to that through our teams in Madrid, Rome and Frankfurt) - however, pro-active public enforcement remains vital to that mission and it is therefore so important to base the unfolding policy debate in Europe on high quality economic research. Looking forward to the event and the discussions that it triggers... https://lnkd.in/eN6xfBBA

We are looking for an interim Finance Director / CFO to work with us on a consulting or fixed term contract basis and help us manage a busy period of international growth. This role could be managed on a 6-9 month part-time interim basis, or on a 3 month full time fixed term contract. Our ideal candidate will have a wealth of experience in embedding financial infrastructure and process improvements, financial planning and analysis, international business structures and scaling up businesses.  Exposure to a partnership legal structure would be highly beneficial. Our role could suit either an interim Finance Director, or a seasoned CFO who is looking to wind down. At Fideres we champion fair markets for social justice and individual dignity. Through economic investigations and expert reports, we combat corporate misconduct, ensuring accountability and fostering equitable opportunities for all. Our work has led to major antitrust legal actions against Big Tech (including Apple, Amazon and Facebook), Big Pharma, Big Finance and Big Agriculture. Meanwhile our original and innovative investigations into the river sewage and Covid-19 have led to national press coverage. Our Financial and Securities Litigation team are the consulting and testifying expert for plaintiffs in almost all landmark financial litigations. We are leaders in our field and we have supported our clients in recovering billions of dollars in settlements for plaintiffs. For further information, please either contact our careers team at careers@fideres.com, or submit your curriculum vitae and a cover letter explaining your motivation to join Fideres and your interest in the role offered to the same email address given above.

Fideres today wrote to the European Commission to bring to its attention the anticompetitive impact of a widespread practice known as IBAN discrimination. This forces consumers and businesses alike to open redundant bank accounts across multiple countries within the single market in order to make payments to entities such as tax authorities, mobile operators and utility providers. Fideres is concerned that this distorts banking competition within the EU, and potentially constitutes an illicit form of state aid, under art. 107 of TFEU. Fideres’s letter is available on our website: https://lnkd.in/dCAzf5Xr #antitrust #stateaid #competitionlaw
