GCR names Hogan Lovells partner Christian Ritz to its 40 under 40 list for 2020
Global Competition Review (GCR) has named Hogan Lovells partner Christian Ritz to its 40 under 40 list for 2020 as the only practitioner from Germany.
GCR 40 under 40 quadrennially lists the top young antitrust lawyers in the world. In his 40 under 40 profile Christian notes that he has had great mentors who have provided him with “very helpful insights on how to practice successfully in the antitrust and competition law arena,” and credits Hogan Lovells competition law partners Christoph Wuenschmann and Falk Schoening for being role models to him.
Asked about the key trends in competition law enforcement, Christian forecasts that Germany’s Federal Cartel Office and the European Commission will remain at the forefront of competition enforcement in the digital economy and that the new German competition law act "will likely equip the German Federal Cartel Office in the area of digital markets with far more tools than most other competition authorities.”
