ELSA IE University

🌟 ELSA IE Shines at the National Council Meeting in Madrid! 🌟 This past month, several of our dedicated board members had the honor of attending the National Council Meeting in Madrid, joining forces with ELSA chapters from all across Spain. At ELSA IE, we take immense pride in contributing to the broader mission of ELSA Spain. This meeting was particularly significant for us as our President, Jade Toledano played a pivotal role by leading the event as Secretary General of ELSA Spain. Adding to the celebration, our very own Lucas Huerta-Murillo Grau was officially ratified as Vice President of Competitions for ELSA Spain—a testament to his hard work and commitment! We are deeply grateful to our representatives— Louis Alexander Schmitz, Cristian Munteanu, Sherlyn Puma-Duran, and Maksim Kudinov —for showcasing the incredible work and dedication of ELSA IE. Their participation reflects our unwavering commitment not only to the IE University community but also to the continued growth and success of ELSA Spain. Here’s to continued collaboration, excellence, and the shared pursuit of ELSA’s mission! 🌍💼 #IEUniversity #ELSAIE #Collaboration #Lawyers #ELSASpain

She will serve concurrently in both roles for the upcoming term, dedicating her time, commitment, and efforts to pushing ELSA IE and ELSA Spain to newer heights. This new chapter highlights her unwavering commitment to the values and goals of ELSA— we are very proud of Ms. Toledano and wish her a productive and successful term on the ELSA Spain Board of Directors, and wishing her the best as she leads our association this coming term.

It is with great pleasure and honor we announce the official commencement of the ELSA IE Board of Directors' term, today August 1st, 2024, lasting until the end of July 2025. As we enter the third session of our esteemed organization, we are overjoyed to have such a blend of experienced leaders and fresh faces guiding our organization for the following year. The individuals on the Board have demonstrated their unwavering commitment, exceptional capabilities, and innovative vision which will undoubtedly push ELSA IE to new adventures. On behalf of this new leadership team, led by Jade Toledano, Maksim Kudinov, & Louis Schmitz, we are excited about the direction that ELSA IE will take. Join us in extending our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to our new board members as they embark on this journey. Together, we look forward to achieving a brighter tomorrow for ELSA IE.

Thrilled to announce that I've been accepted by the European Law Students Association (ELSA) for a summer Traineeship in Baku, Azerbaijan, with VLM and Partners! Very excited for this unique opportunity, and a chance to expand my (ELSA) horizons to ELSA Azerbaijan!

Dear Network, Today we are celebrating the 43rd Anniversary of the European Law Students' Association! Let's celebrate not only our success as an Association, but above all the people who make ELSA what it is. Over the past year, we have achieved a lot as a Network.

Next Thursday, ELSA IE University will hold its European Union Law Conference at IE Law School. I will have the opportunity to participate in the first panel, moderated by Pablo Solano Díaz, discussing the DMA and DSA together with Alba Ribera Martínez and Katarzyna Sadrak. More information on registration below. Do not miss it!

🤺 The Digital Services Act package under the spotlight - the keys to effective compliance, the justification of regulatory intervention and the DMA's broader objectives. 🔜 Next Thursday, ELSA IE University will hold its European Union Law Conference at IE Law School. During an intense day, the conference meanders into the intricacies of both the DMA and the DSA at large to explore the legal balances stricken in the DMA and the DSA, the economic aspects of digital platforms and the challenges companies face in their implementation. On the note of my participation, I will contribute to the first panel to be held at 10 am, where we will discuss the Commission's current enforcement strategy in the DMA's interpretation and the gatekeeper's reactions to the compliance deadline. Pablo Solano Díaz moderates the first panel, and Pablo Velasco Sanzo and Katarzyna Sadrak will engage in the topical discussion. A panel dominated by officials from competition authorities, where I will pitch in with academic flair. Let's hope no network effects or switching costs turn against me, and the multi-homing of ideas crosscuts the discussion. The two remaining panels for the day bring together a great line-up of speakers coming from different backgrounds. I invite you all to join us by registering for the event (you'll find the details in the image below). P.S. A great shout-out goes to Maksim Kudinov for making (most of) it happen!
