Jérémie is a partner at Geradin Partners. He brings combined experience as a private practitioner, in-house counsel, and official at the European Commission. Before joining the firm in September 2025, he was Director of Competition Law and Public Policy at Schibsted Marketplaces (now Vend) in Oslo (2023–2025), partner at White & Case in Brussels (until 2023), and official at the European Commission’s Hearing Office (2010–2012). 

Jérémie’s practice covers antitrust, merger control, and digital regulation (DMA, DSA, Data Act, AI Act). 

Antitrust Laws 

Jérémie advises companies on compliance, investigations, and complaints against anti-competitive conduct. As in-house counsel, he routinely advised business teams on compliance with Articles 101 and 102 and defended cases before Nordic authorities. In private practice, he worked on landmark EU proceedings, including pharmaceutical “pay-for-delay” cases, Euribor manipulation, and multiple cartel investigations before the Commission and EU courts. He notably helped secure a rare annulment of Commission dawn raids in the French Retailers case. He has also supported clients bringing abuse of dominance complaints. 

He has particular expertise in procedural issues, in particular thanks to his time at the European Commission’s Hearing Office (unit supervising the respect for rights of defence). He teaches procedural law at the Brussels Study Center.  

Merger Control / FSR / FDI 

Jérémie advises on merger control in Brussels, Paris, and globally. He has guided clients through phase 1 and 2 proceedings, negotiated remedies with the Commission and other authorities, and coordinated multi-jurisdictional filings in major transactions. 

Digital Regulation 

As Director of Competition Law and Public Policy at Schibsted Marketplaces/Vend, Jérémie advised on digital regulation, including implementation of the DSA, Data Act, and AI Act. He contributed to DMA investigations into Google Search (self-preferencing) and App Stores (steering investigation). He also advised management on regulatory risks and tracked new EU initiatives such as the Digital Fairness Act and Circular Economy Act.
