Miguel Troncoso and Andrew Ward analyse in El Confidencial the EU’s role in merger control and AI under the spotlight in the legal market | El Confidencial

icon 17 of February, 2026

Our Competition partners, Miguel Troncoso and Andrew Ward, analyse in El Confidencial the key trends expected to shape Competition law in 2026, in a context of growing regulatory complexity and an increasingly prominent role of the European Union.

As they explain, the anticipated rise in activity will have a direct impact on both merger control and enforcement. At the national level, they expect intense activity in merger review and market monitoring, as well as a potential increase in sanctioning proceedings driven by the recent uptick in inspections.

Their analysis comes amid heightened scrutiny of digital markets, artificial intelligence, and the implementation of new EU regulations, pointing to a particularly dynamic year ahead for Competition law.
