Sabrina Borocci

Sabrina leads the Italian Antitrust and European law practice and is a member of our EU - Global antitrust practice. Since the beginning of her career, she has been advising clients with a focus on Italian and European antitrust, competition and merger control law, as well as European law. She is the professional for all competition related and application of EU law related aspects of your business.

Sabrina has a strong academic background having dedicated her PhD and LL.M. studies entirely to European law and Competition law. She is adjunct professor at Bocconi University. She defines herself as an "oxymoron": a bookworm with a strong commercial attitude!

Sabrina focuses on cartel and abuse of dominance investigations in various industries and merger control filings. She has particular experience in life science and healthcare, automotive, consumer, TMT and digital media and energy and natural resources.

On antitrust matters she provides full service assistance both at compliance level and at a litigation level. She defines herself a litigator, but she advises also clients on compliance with the competition rules in a wide range of commercial agreements, including distribution and agency agreements, long-term supply agreements, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. She also provides assistance in internal antitrust audits and public enforcers' investigations (including dawn raids) and requests for information.

Sabrina also advises frequently on regulatory matters with specific focus on compliance to European law across member states and on competition on areas of commercial agreements (licencing and distribution), connection with IP right (patents) and assistance with regulators (tariffs, access to market).

Prior to joining Hogan Lovells, she was a partner in a renowned Italian boutique law firm and before that a counsel at a magic circle law firm.
