Magic Circle law firm Allen & Overy has added to its London team with the hire of Sidley Austin’s former global co-head of antitrust.
Kristina Nordlander has over 23 years of experience in broad areas of European Union antitrust litigation and has been with Sidley Austin since 2005. Nordlander focuses on big tech and life sciences, with clients on either side of the Atlantic. She was responsible for founding the Women’s Competition Network (WCN) in Brussels in 2008, an international organisation of female senior competition law and policy professionals. Following the appointment to her new role, Nordlander will split her time between Brussels and her base in London.
In a statement, Allen & Overy antitrust co-head Philip Mansfield said, “Her depth of experience and range of expertise in terms of clients and geography fit perfectly with our strategy for growth. Kristina’s hire is an illustration of our commitment to investing in our global antitrust team, as a strategic priority of the firm.”
