Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton has added a new member to its Brussels and German antitrust teams.
Bernd Langeheine, a former deputy director general for mergers at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition, joins the US firm as a senior consultant.
Langeheine previously held the role of director of telecommunications policy at the Commission.
Cleary is already recognised as a leader in the EU competition area in Brussels and this hire will only boost the firm's standing further.
