Sabrina Borocci

Sabrina has a strong academic background having dedicated her PhD and LL.M. studies entirely to 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 TMT and digital media, life science and healthcare, automotive, consumer, energy and natural resources.

Recent assignments include a high profile cross-border merger in the digital sector, dominance cases in infrastructure industries and a range of public enforcement matters relating to drugs distribution and cases of alleged collusion. She is also currently advising clients in a number of cases before the Italian Competition Authority and Italian Courts.

On antitrust matters she provides full service assistance both at compliance level and at a litigation level. She advises 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 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 Clifford Chance.
