Konstantin Jörgens is Of Counsel in Garrigues’ competition law group. With more than 25 years of experience, he advises domestic and international clients across a broad range of industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, financial services, food retail and production, manufacturing of fastening and assembly materials, and freight forwarding. He provides comprehensive counsel on antitrust and merger control matters, representing clients in cartel, abuse of dominance, and merger control proceedings before the Spanish Competition Authority (CNMC) and the European Commission. He also coordinates complex, multijurisdictional merger control filings across various jurisdictions.

In addition, Konstantin advises on distribution law and compliance, including the design and implementation of compliance programs and the delivery of antitrust training for numerous corporate clients in Spain and internationally. Drawing on his background in German and Spanish commercial law, he also co-leads the firm’s German Desk.

He is a native German speaker and is fluent in Spanish, English, and French. He is admitted to practice in Spain (Madrid), Germany (Cologne), and the U.S.A. (New York).

Experience

With his team, Konstantin has successfully secured numerous unconditional merger control clearances from the European Commission and the Spanish Competition Authority (CNMC) across a wide range of industries, acting for many high-profile corporate clients. He also advises clients—particularly those based in German-speaking countries—in antitrust infringement proceedings in Spain and frequently represents them in subsequent court litigation, including before the Supreme Court.

Clients of the firm regularly turn to him for advice on distribution law matters. His background in German law makes him a trusted advisor for clients from German-speaking jurisdictions seeking legal guidance in Spain.

Prior to joining Garrigues’ Madrid team, Konstantin completed his legal traineeship (Referendariat) at the European Commission, the German Embassy in Tel Aviv, and the German Representative Office in the Palestinian Territories. He also worked for several years as an associate at Hogan & Hartson and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in Brussels.
